The wine cup must be full, and the flowers and branches will fall one after another.

Culture Liquor Group, the annual blind tasting of liquor, has gradually had a sense of déjà vu at the award ceremony since four years ago.

The seats of 100 winery brand representatives on the scene were full.

The door slowly opened, and a boy dressed in Issey Miyake, without a trace of dust, and with the atmosphere of a craftsman, entered the silent venue under the guidance of the lights.

Precise stride, accurate frequency.

Except for professional flag raisers and flag guards, few people in life can turn walking into such a "precise" thing.

Chasing the light stopped at the waiting area of the annual Top 100 list of Chinese liquor.

A hundred liquor tasting glasses that are completely indistinguishable in appearance are lined up.

Underneath the tasting cups are black boxes numbered 1 to 100.

This boy who exudes the temperament of a craftsman walks in front of a hundred black boxes one by one.

The number is changed every three seconds.

Pick up the tasting glass that sits on top of the black box.

Take a light breath.

Put the cup back.

After a short pause, exhale again.

Don't leave a trace of his own in the tasting glass.

Repeat the same action a hundred times like a machine.

Repetition means boring, but if the person who repeats this action is the youngest national wine appraiser Lou Shang.

Boredom seems to have become something to look forward to.

The representatives of the 100 wineries who were already seated were all exploring the micro-expressions on Lou Shang's face.

I hope that even a minute earlier than those who are not at the scene, I can read from Lou Shang Gujing's face which wineries he will like this year.

But the young national wine appraiser sniffed it quietly, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

This is a highly questionable liquor tasting festival.

Vogue. Dynamic. Technology.

Every element is incompatible with the feeling that Chinese liquor has given people for thousands of years.

It has been evaluated by many senior liquor connoisseurs as the most informal and unpopular Chinese liquor blind tasting meeting.

But such a "non-stream" blind tasting meeting has become the most popular festival in the Chinese liquor industry, and there is no one.

After a round of sniffing, Lou Shang did not smell it again like a "regular" wine appraiser.

He didn't even finish the normal procedures of looking, smelling, tasting, and evaluating baijiu before he closed his eyes.

After a precise 100 seconds, Lou Shang wrote down ten serial numbers one by one on the electronic writing screen next to the last black box in the waiting area.

No. 6, No. 13, No. 22......

Every time you write down a number, when the building is still entered, it will be turned off, and the brand light box where the representative of the distillery is seated will be lit.

The 100 delegates at the scene waited with bated breath, hoping that the next lightbox to light up would be their location.

The competition for the best of 100 miles is not fierce.

Lou Shang turned his back to the guest seat, and he couldn't see which wineries he had chosen, whether he had been famous for a long time or had just arrived.

After writing ten serial numbers, Lou Shang plunged into a soundproof glass room built on a stage with a great sense of science and technology.

It's like the scene of the World Finals of an esports competition.

Lou Shang enters the glass room, and the entrance door closes automatically.

The people at the scene were able to see the building inside the soundproof glass room through the screen at the top of the stage.

But the building has not yet seen the people outside the glass room, and cannot hear the sound outside.

Completely into a state of isolation.

The venue, which had been silent for six minutes and forty seconds, instantly began to be full of people again.

Some said congratulations to the brand representatives who turned on the lights, and some said that it was a pity to say that this year was a bit of a pity for the brand representatives who did not turn on the lights.

The brand representatives who attended the blind evaluation meeting either sincerely congratulated or were hypocritical.

It's like a fake, Chinese-style entertainment scene.

But all this has nothing to do with the fact that in the soundproof glass room, the building has not been able to gain even a beam of light.

He sat quietly in the glass room, and in front of the seat was a microphone with an excellent radio effect.

Lou Shang was immersed in his own world, and whether the seats outside were full or empty would not affect him in the slightest.

After the 10 blind wine tastings were sent to a waiting area in the soundproof glass room, the music and lights returned to their original state.

The first brand representative of the No. 6 distillery, who was written down by Lou Shang, took out the wine he brought to the scene today from the No. 6 black box and came to the center of the stage.

The cap was opened and the contents of the bottle were poured into a tester that could detect the alcohol content.

In addition to the alcohol content, the instrument can also detect the age of the wine according to the volatilization coefficient in six minutes.

As the brand representatives took the stage, the surrounding screen of the scene began to show the brewing process of this wine.

The brand representative used the background of the video to introduce the wine he brought to the scene today.

From the brand, aroma, vintage, bottle, wine label, to the alcohol content marked on the bottle, brewing materials, and so on, such as a few treasures, talk eloquently.

Everyone stood in God's perspective, except for the building in the soundproof glass room.

In the soundproof glass room, the bony right hand picked up the wine glass.

After a second of sniffing, take a sip.

Leave it in your mouth for three seconds to allow the wine to soak your entire mouth, then spit it out.

This man with an extraordinary temperament is very good-looking when he drinks.

So much so that many people feel that Lou Shang's action of spitting out the wine also has a fatal attraction.

The soundproof glass room where the building is still located has a particularly good sound effect.

If you look closely, you can even hear the tasting glass being lowered back to the countertop very gently.

But no matter how effective the radio equipment is, it has not received a trace of sound from Lou Shang himself, as if even his breathing is still.

At the end of the No. 6 wine tasting, Lou Shang did not speak, but wrote his own evaluation on the writing board - refreshing, refreshing, cottony, sweet, net, in the main tone of ethyl acetate, through the compound aroma of ethyl lactate, elegant and comfortable without miscellaneous taste, spicy but not prickly, sweet aftertaste left in the cup.

The final tasting result of No. 6 liquor: Shanxi Fenjiu, new liquor, the bottle label should be 53 degrees, and the actual degree is 52.8 degrees.

It is not difficult for ordinary drinkers to distinguish between high-alcohol and low-alcohol alcohol.

But most people can't tell the difference between the wines within five degrees.

Those who can distinguish liquor within three degrees of difference with their mouths can be regarded as having the level of a professional sommelier.

Most of the people who can distinguish between a one-degree wine difference are wine appraisers who are one level higher than the wine taster.

But even national wine critics can't tell the difference between wine within one degree.

After Lou Shang wrote down the degree, the data of the testing instrument was also revealed.

52.8 degrees, no more, no less, just right.

The scene resounded with a tidal wave of applause.

The alcohol content can be accurate to one decimal place, which is the youngest chief wine appraiser in China, Lou Shang, in the soundproof glass room, and the most surprising place for his peers.

Lou Shang could not hear the applause, nor could he see the expressions of the representatives of the winery.

All the reactions of the outside world are not within the scope of Lou Shang's concern.

He waited quietly for the mechanism in the waiting area to bring him a second glass of wine waiting to be tasted.

The brewing process of the No. 13 sake began to be played on the screen at the scene, and the representatives of the distillery, taking out their own sake from the black box, walked to the center of the stage.

The liquor lovers at the scene swallowed their saliva in unison.

No. 13 is not the same as the new wine of No. 6 Distillery, it is a vintage.

After Lou Shang wrote a brief comment on the five words of fragrant, mellow, soft, strong and strong on the writing board, he added a professional evaluation - elegant aging, the aroma of the five-grain cellar that integrates the ancient cellar, the old grains and the old koji, the refreshing and silky taste, the just right seasoning of sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat and corn, and the aftertaste of the fragrance for a long time.

The final tasting result of Lou Shang's No. 13 liquor is: 1988 drum-shaped bottle Wuliangye, the factory liquor is 60 degrees, and the existing liquor is 56.7 degrees.

56.7, Lou Shang's alcohol tasting results, once again reached a high degree of consistency with the instrument.

It took the machine six minutes to test the vintage of the wine, which is exactly the same as the 1988 that Lou Shang wrote down casually.

No matter how dry their mouths and hearts of the brand representatives from God's perspective are, the wine that Lou Shang drinks will only stay in his mouth for three seconds and then spit it out, and then rinse his mouth with pure water.

At the end of the first two tastings, the representative of the winery numbered 22 stood up from his position in front of the light box.

Will it be a vintage or a new wine this time?

Everyone looked at the big screen at the scene, but the video on the scene did not play the introduction of the No. 22 wine directly as it did on the previous two occasions.

Is there a problem with the on-site playback system?

The brand representatives of Distillery 22 are almost from the audience area to the stage, but the video is still blank.

There was no staff member handing the microphone to the winery representative a second before she walked onto the stage.

Behind this grand ceremony is the annual TOP100 list of Chinese liquor.

Every year, the Cultural Liquor Group will select 100 wines that are on sale that year according to the votes of netizens.

At least 70 percent of those who voted were young women who had barely drunk liquor.

Therefore, this list, from the perspective of professional liquor rankings, is worthless.

However, in this world, there are hundreds of millions of people who can drink. How many can make every sip of wine they drink clearly?

Experts feel that there is no value, it does not mean that the general public feels that there is no value, or even that the major wineries feel that there is no value.

The annual blind tasting ceremony of the cultural wine industry is just like the Victoria's Secret show, which once swept the world.

If you want to say that you make products, it is not professional at all.

If you want to put on a show, it is definitely an unbeatable profession.

"What's going on?"

Brand representatives began to use their eyes and words to explore the unexpected situation on the scene:

"The annual show of the cultural wine industry, how can there ever be such a low-level broadcast accident?"
