Development course of tea wine

In 1950s, Zhongshan Winery, through public-private partnership, concentrated the brewing technologies of various wineries in Xiaolan to brew tea-flavored wine again. In the 1970s, after the technical backbones of Zhongshan Winery, such as Ma Lin, Zhang Fan and Chen Zhongci, improved the brewing technology, the tea-flavored wine produced was better in quality, more mellow and more unique in flavor than the products of previous dynasties. Even the glass filled with tea-flavored wine is still fragrant after two or three days, so it is tea. The name "Xiaolan Tawei Liquor" comes from this, which refers to the Tawei Liquor produced by Zhongshan Winery, which is brewed by the special technology of Zhongshan Winery to distinguish it from the imitation products of other regions and manufacturers later.

Attached Table (1) The details of the inheritance of Xiaolan Tuwei Liquor represent the brand process source, school start time, production experience and flower source of the companies affiliated to the industry. Mr. Chen Zhongci's Notes on Brewing Industry Zhongshan Winery Tuwei Brand Winery Training 197 1 year and 42 years of self-owned and cooperative cultivation of Yongning people, keeping the formula and production records of Xiaolan Tianwei wine and compiling the records of China wine. Xiaolan Tianwei Liquor brewed by Cheng Ju Distillery in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City is famous for its delicate fragrance and refreshing taste, especially Tianwei Liquor brewed with old tree Tianwei flowers, which has eight characteristics of "fragrance, honey, purity, softness, smoothness, sweetness and alcohol".

Old tea roses refer to tea roses with a tree age of more than 30 years. Its cultivation follows the ancient method of Xiaolan, which is very different from modern large-scale cultivation. For example, water conservation is mainly based on grass, water is filtered with sand and gravel, and roots are sprayed with fragrant teas when flowering; When bending flowers, the weak branches should be cut off, so that the strong branches left behind can keep a three-finger distance, so that the buds can be fully illuminated; Fertilization adopts the method of "eat less and eat more", and it is forbidden to add water and fertilize when budding, so that the produced camellia is more fresh and fragrant. The process of brewing the best tea wine with flowers from old trees is more particular than usual: if the flower picking time is before 9: 30 in the morning, only flowers with an opening of 40%-70% will be taken; Don't spend on rainy days; Don't spend too long turning white; If the pattern is too small or deformed, don't; The petals are cut with scissors, and the white part below the petals is not ... in order to choose the most fragrant and high-quality raw materials. In the second year after planting, Tuwei can reach its full flowering period, which generally lasts about 5-6 years. Flower farmers will replace new seedlings in batches according to the actual situation to maintain high yield. There are nearly 2 mu of old camellia in Xiaolan area, which was planted in the late 1970s. The original land was Yongning Community, but it was moved to a private garden for special management due to the change of land function. The remaining six older camellia fields were planted around 2003, all in Yongning Nature Reserve. In Chen's brewing note "Tea Fragrance Record", there is a description of the tea fragrance of the old tree:

There is an old man in the west who is good at growing tea roses. Selling seedlings has a profit of tens of thousands a year. One day, I suddenly called my father: "I have an old tree called Chawei, which is over 20 years old. Do you want it? " My father is very happy, and I am anxious to go with my brother. Weng planted a grotesque old tree with nine ridges. Or tall and straight, or colorful, or lying up, or carving holes, or old and strong. Then, go to the branches and leaves, cut flowers, and go straight for a foot and a half, neat and ready to go. Suddenly, the weather turned upside down, the wind blew hard, the cold electricity crawled, the thunder fluctuated, and the hail rained cats and dogs. Fear, run, hide. The rain stopped, the mud bowl was exhausted, the iron roots were stretched out, and the color was like black paint. Mud building, mud feet, is a bare plant, out, moved to Chang' aotang ②, set up a net to open a garden, respectfully set off the sunset glow, and pray for La Traviata ③. According to Weng, there are more than 30 dogs and chickens. Every time I feed, the chickens fly and the dogs jump, and the noise is full, the food is full, the urine is comfortable, and the flowers and plants are glorious. Ten years later, the net rust is riddled with holes, and uninvited guests often enter the hole and spend a lot of money. Disturbance, full of walls and high walls, from a distance, I am quite proud of being rich and quite jealous. There are evil neighbors in the southeast of the garden, greedy and deceitful, causing trouble. In June, just after the officials in duty area (4) moved, the neighbors corrected their relatives and friends and sued the officials for occupying the land in the village. The official was furious and furious, and ordered the wall to be demolished and the comfort spirit returned. Father holds a contract and fights for it. Official favoritism, regardless of public and private, want to break the contract and refuse to pay compensation. The father of the method retired and moved to spend thirty-two. Sadness is out of season, and it has withered. Sadness is like losing relatives and friends. In the dead of night, Leng Yue cried, hurting traditional pity.

Heaven is right. Fortunately, my father met Bole (5), trusted him and trusted him. Every guest said: "Bole has virtue, and he always cherishes the virtue of restoring tradition, and he is a fellow." Thanks to the fairy ⑥ and the shadow patrol ⑥, although everything is difficult, the wine will eventually become. The wine is fragrant, honey, clear, clean, soft, smooth, sweet and mellow. If people sip nectar, it is regarded as precious. On wine, I said, "Old trees are full of tea, but those who are not skilled in art are not familiar." Special record of Renchen in winter and December. ①: Xitoufang, located in Yongning Community, Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City. ②: In Shengfeng Community. ③: The old custom of planting tea trees. ④ District officials, equivalent to the current community secretary. ⑤: A knowledgeable and talented person. ⑥: tea fairy. ⑦: It refers to Wu Ruilong, an official who visited Henan. According to legend, he is the founder of Xiaolan Tea Wine.

Attached Table (II) 20 13 Overview of Tea Planting in Xiaolan Town: Annual Management Model of Tea Plant Life Cycle. Description of planting proportion for more than 30 years. At the end of 1970s, about 1.2% of Shengfeng community was closed down and moved out of Yongning community. Committed to the management of brewing 10 Yongning Community (with 6 places) around 2003, and brewing in Yongning Community below 16-20 13 years 18 is about 1%.

About 87.8% of Xincheng District is open for brewing, and other Xiaolan Tawei wines refer to Tawei wines produced by Zhongshan Winery or brewed by special technology of Zhongshan Winery. Since 1956, there are only two producers of Xiaolan tea-flavored wine: Zhongshan Winery and Cheng Ju Winery. For nearly half a century, Zhongshan Winery has used six kinds of unique packaging, such as ordinary bottles, pot-bellied bottles, pig bile bottles and cup bottles.

Ordinary bottled Chinese wine was very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Due to the lack of materials, they used the same bottle type as other seasonings such as soy sauce.

In 1970s and 1980s, because Xiaolan exported a large amount of tea wine, a pot-bellied bottle was designed according to the historical data and legends of tea fragrance. Its wine bottles are divided into two types, large and small, with little difference in design characteristics, but the color used in the bottle cap is different from the trademark on the bottle cap. That is, the trademark of the big bottle is Pearl River Bridge, and the trademark of the small bottle is Pearl River Brand. The big bottle is divided into export and ordinary. The glass bottles used in the two are made of the same material, but the wine label on the outlet is more exquisite: the surface is waxy and the incision does not lose hair. The bottleneck is still tied with ribbons (specially printed in Hong Kong), but it is not suitable to change ribbons into "face stickers" in the later stage.

Treasure 94, apart from its attractive design, seems to have no story root at first glance. In fact, regardless of the bottle mouth, bottle bottom and pattern, there are origins. See the article "Volume II: Tea Fragrance" for details. Xiaolan Tea Wine Set 94 ".

The above products are all brewed by Zhongshan Winery, and there are not many existing products. Now available for collection is Xiaolan tea-flavored wine produced by Xiaolan Cheng Ju Winery.

Xiaolan Cheng Ju Winery used two bottle types in the trial production of 20 12. One is to improve and supplement the bottle mouth, bottle stopper and some text descriptions by imitating the bottle body design of pig bile bottle. The size is larger than the 94 version, and the capacity is correspondingly increased to 400ml. The other is blue and white porcelain with a capacity of 500ml. The above two kinds of porcelain bottles are produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. The tea wine produced by Cheng Ju Winery during 20 12 is an appreciation version and has not been sold in the market. So there is considerable room for appreciation.

To measure the quality of Xiaolan tea-flavored wine, besides the characteristics of liquor, it can also be distinguished from "fragrance, honey, clarity, purity, softness, smoothness, sweetness and alcohol".

1, with strong aroma. Whether it is very obvious or very light or difficult to detect, we use high, medium and low to describe it. Xiaolan's traditional tea wine emphasizes fragrance-"you can smell its fragrance ten paces away". This has something to do with Tuwei's history and culture for thousands of years. The fragrance of tea trees should be "alive", that is, natural, fresh, vivid and comfortable. If you smell a turbid and lifeless fragrance, it means that this is inferior wine or the raw material used is not tea.

2. sense of smell. High-quality Xiaolan Tuwei wine contains absolutely no other miscellaneous flavor except the unique fragrance of Tuwei flowers and faint honey fragrance. This is different from ordinary tea wine with rice fragrance or peculiar smell.

3. appearance. Intuitive clarity of wine, identify whether there are impurities in wine. Is that clear? Is it cloudy? Still hazy? The high-quality Xiaolan Tianwei wine is crystal clear. If turbidity or floc appears, it is likely to be due to the following reasons: (1) The production process of tea wine is defective; Bacteria are infected during production and storage.

4, sweetness. Tea wine produced before 1990' s is very sweet and greasy. 2 1 century, in order to meet the health requirements, Xiaolan tea wine is mainly light and sweet.

5, wine body. Body refers to the feeling and weight of wine on the tongue. For example, the 38-degree and 33-degree Xiaolan Tianwei wines are mellow, smooth and thick, which can best highlight the unique fragrance of Tianwei.

6. aftertaste. The duration of aroma in the mouth after swallowing tea and wine. The first-class tea wine is characterized by its long and pure tea and flower fragrance.

You can pay attention to the following points when collecting Xiaolan tea wine:

1, look for the trademark. Tea flavor brand is the only trademark of Xiaolan tea flavor wine.

2. It is best to have the logo of "Chrysanthemum" (Xiaolan Chrysanthemum Club) or the words "internal tasting", "limited" and "treasured" on the bottle body.

3. Pay attention to the year. Xiaolan is sedimentary, with fertile soil, warm climate and no major natural disasters all the year round, which is especially suitable for tea tree growth. The tea trees produced by Xiaolan are well-proportioned and fragrant. High-quality flower source is one of the main factors of Tawei wine quality. The aroma of wine depends on the growth of flowers in that year. The quality of camellia depends not only on sunshine, moisture and fertilizer, but also on weather combination. The so-called good combination means that the temperature should be low from pressing branches to budding stage, that is, there should be enough cold energy. It is best not to rain from budding stage to budding stage, and the temperature in budding stage should not be hot and cold, and it should not encounter thunderstorms during flower picking. For example, 20 1 1 and 20 12, the flowers of tea trees are in good condition, and it doesn't rain when picking flowers, and the aroma is full. Therefore, 20 14 xiaolan tea wine is worth collecting.

4. Pay attention to the country of origin. Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City is the origin of tea trees, where tea trees have been planted for more than 400 years.

5.QS mark and manufacturer. So far, the only manufacturer that has obtained the safety production license related to Tawei wine is Xiaolan Cheng Ju Winery.

6. Check whether the bottle is in good condition, whether the outer packaging is damaged and whether the accessories are complete. For example, porcelain bottle, whether there is trachoma in the bottle, whether the seal of the bottle mouth is firm, etc. , will not be ignored by collectors.

Attention should be paid to long-term storage:

1, the temperature of the storage environment, it is best to maintain at 10 -25 degrees.

2. The storage environment should not be too humid, and the ideal humidity is 75%-80%.

3. Store in a cool and ventilated place, and don't expose yourself to the sun. It's best to keep ventilation, and don't put things with too strong a taste in the same environment, so as not to spoil the taste of wine.

4. It is ideal to place the bottle vertically, so that there is a space between the bottle cap and the wine, which is beneficial to aging.

If you smell the flowers, it means there is air leakage. Check the encryption in time to prevent qualitative change.

In 2006, with the encouragement of the government, the planting area of tea rose in Xiaolan increased year by year, and major growers and lovers brewed their own tea rose wine according to their own understanding of tea rose wine. In just five years, six kinds of tea rose wines with different styles appeared in Xiaolan liquor consumption market.
