In fact, there are now good red wines in Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and the Stars and Stripes. Even in France, in addition to the Bordeaux region, there are wine-producing regions such as Burgundy. If 'good' can be defined by price, Lafite is not the best wine in the world.

According to authoritative statistics, according to the average duty-free price of 750ml standard bottles, eight of the ten most expensive wines in the world are French red wines, and these eight French red wines are all red wines produced in the Burgundy region without exception. All five of the five major châteaux in the Bordeaux region were not selected

However, in the eyes of Chinese people, Lafite is a good wine. Open your mouth and close your mouth is 'Lafite '82', and now it is past the best drinking year, and I want to talk about Lafite '82. It's as if I know that the wine is very status.

The highest annual output of Château Lafite reached 240,000 bottles sold all over the world, while Huaxia consumes 2 million bottles of Lafite a year。。。。。。

The most interesting example of Lafite's place in the hearts of the Chinese people should be a man named Wu Chengxian. That's really a man who 'brother is not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have always kept the legend of his brother'.

This man appeared on a Chinese blind date show called "Blind Date Will Win". Regarding such a show, some people commented like this: "1818 Golden Eye", "Qiantang Old Lady" and "Blind Date Will Win" are out-and-out 'happy trifecta'.

This Wu Chengxian went on a blind date, and introduced himself as: graduated from the University of Paris 1, with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, a family-style wine business, a car but no house, this information is simply a model of rich and handsome!

As a result, I looked at myself, good guy, the whole is a non-mainstream, or a township level.

Well, it's not right to judge people by their appearance, but Wu Chengxian's series of operations later made people extremely speechless: You said that you graduated from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sapienza and your diploma? No, you said that you took out your passport and took a look, and there was no exit record; you said that you studied in France, so tell us French, right? No。。。。。。

In the end, the program team had no choice, since you said that you were in the red wine business, so let's talk about red wine? As a result, Wu Chengxian, who claimed to be a 'family-style red wine business', could only name one brand of wine from beginning to end, and that was Lafite.

This is definitely the worst time that 'Rafi' has been hacked。。。。。。

Fortunately, Xiao Peng is not Wu Chengxian, Bloomberg loves red wine, and gave Xiao Peng a lot of knowledge about red wine, and he finally chose a bottle of red wine from Burgundy, France------ Romanée Conti in 2008.

Romanée Conti is known as the world's No. 1 wine brand and ranks first among the 'Top 10 Most Luxurious Wine Brands in the World'. It is a serious 'can't buy series', and it's not something that can be bought with money, and the entire winery produces less than 6,000 bottles a year, only one-fiftieth of Lafite! At the beginning of Stephen Chow's movie "The Mermaid", when Deng Chao held a celebration banquet after taking the land, he drank 'one million Romanée Conti'.

Of course, 2008 Romanée-Conti was not so exaggerated, in the 'butcher's shop

The price of a bottle at the bar is more than $14,000 per bottle including consumption tax.

When he saw this price, Di Wei's eyes turned green: "Brother Peng, this is too exaggerated, right? I couldn't make this money even after being busy for a few months." Shall we just drink it?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Let me ask you, what is it for making money? Isn't it just for spending? Di Wei, you remember, if you simply save, you will not become rich." And consumption is the driving force that stimulates people to make money. Think about it, when you see me spending money, does it arouse your desire to make money?"

Di Wei nodded honestly, and Xiao Peng continued: "People have desires, and you will also think that one day, you will drink such high-priced red wine, go in and out of high-end places, buy expensive clothes, and be accompanied by beautiful women." But only if you have to do something first, and how much effort you can put into your goals. You just see that I want Romanée Conti in '08 and you get so excited? Now, you see, it says 'sold out', or I'm going to try Romanée Conti in '06. ”

Don't look at the difference between 06 and 08 years, there are only two years, but the price of Romanée Conti in 06 is more than 250,000 US dollars, which is what the movie "Mermaid" said 'one million Romanée Conti', but this more than 10,000 US dollars is already very amazing, and a bottle of ordinary red wine in the Stars and Stripes is about ten US dollars。。。。。。

"Brother Peng, are you saying that I can make so much money like you?" Di Wei's eyes lit up.

"Impossible. Xiao Peng extinguished Di Wei's illusion without hesitation: "You want to be realistic, right?"

"Brother Peng, it's easy for you to talk like this without friends. Di Wei said speechlessly.

The waiter brought the crème brûlée and Romanée Conti called by Xiao Peng, and after Xiao Peng took the wine bottle and looked at it to make sure that it was correct, the waiter directly opened the wine bottle, poured a glass for each of them, and then left.

Di Wei was stunned for a long time: "Brother Peng, didn't you say that you have to use a decanter to decant the wine to drink such high-end red wine?

Xiao Peng smiled: "Good red wine is packaged in ordinary wooden boxes or cartons, and the wine labels are extremely simple, only those wines with bad quality will make a fuss on the packaging, in Huaxia, you see those beautifully packaged inside are cups and corkscrew ashtrays, and red wines that look tall and incomparably tall, nine times out of ten are poor quality red wines, and as for decanting." Xiao Peng glanced at Wen Jie: "Even if you sober up, can you drink differently?" Brother, those who drink red wine and sober up first, nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand are pretending to be forced. Let's learn something good, won't we?"

When watching TV (especially Huaxia TV, there are few such plots in European and American TV), I often see those so-called upper-class people take out a bottle of red wine, pour it into a glass decanter first, and then drink it after touching the air for a period of time, this process is called decanting.

The concept of decanting is only for red wines in wine, white wines, sweet wines, sparkling wines, etc. generally do not need to be decanted. The reason why it is necessary to decant wine, there are at least two most direct answers, first of all, the first point is to remove the heavy impurities of the wine, in the past, wine was bottled without filtration, so people need to filter and sink before drinking

Although most wines are now filtered before bottling, there is often some sediment in the bottle, especially those of old wines, so it still needs to be settled. Secondly, many wines are not perfect in fact, and bacteria breed unpleasant smells, so release some of the unpleasant smells first.

When exposed to air, all wines change, but not all wines get better, especially when overexposed to air, there is a danger of over-oxidation. Many so-called so-called experts say that fresh red wine should be decanted for a few hours, and old red wine should even be decanted for a few days.

About decanting, it is all the top sommelier relies on experience and feeling to grasp, the same wine, different sommeliers have different opinions, will use different ways to decant wine, even the top sommelier himself can't say why, do you expect the Chinese people who don't often drink red wine can also distinguish the contrast between the waking up and the pre-waking of red wine?

Uh, the taste must be different, in the end, which one is better, then I dare not say, don't believe in finding a bottle of red wine and drinking it for a day?

This is just like Qian Zhongshu wrote in the book "The Siege of the City": "The modern girl who hates small cities the most in my life, the outdated fashion, the rustic urbanization, like the first suit imitated by a Chinese tailor, and the Western patches on the old clothes of foreigners who look like are also made on the clothes and pants."

Chinese people drink red wine to decant wine, and there is also such a taste.

In fact, the reason for this can also be understood, in the early years of China, like the current northern country, the information was closed, and they did not know the situation in the outside world at all, but later after the reform and opening up, a group of people went out of the country and went outside to take a look.

What do the Chinese people like the most? How to pretend to be forced to come! A bottle of cheap red wine of 30 yuan is also quickly used to look tall and tall, and in addition to the propaganda of various merchants who sell wine decanters, to this day, whether they drink red wine or not, they all know that they must first sober up before drinking red wine, and they feel that drinking red wine in that way is the king, and it is the way to be full of force.

Xiao Peng can only say two words about this: hehe.

In foreign countries, when the red wine of the right year is taken out and opened and drunk directly, why do you shake it before drinking the wine? In fact, it is a process of decanting the wine! Xiao Peng often sees the domestic drinking of red wine dangling, and then looking at the so-called 'hanging cup,' and smelling the aroma of the wine, which looks very full. Xiao Peng really wanted to go over and ask: What kind of outfit are you pretending?

For red wines, especially the best red wines, the right drinking year is the most important, a good wine of a good year will have an unparalleled complexity after many years, and drinking a new vintage will only be bitter, no matter how you decant the wine, it is useless.

Xiao Peng tasted the red wine in the glass, well, as a person who doesn't drink red wine often, Xiao Peng's evaluation of Rome Nikonti has only one word: good!

As for what's good? The price is good! Well, because it's expensive, it's good. (https:)
