Chapter 66: Wine Tasting

As a national wine industry event, the competition is quite formal and grand, and each participating winery needs to pay a wine tasting fee of 100,000 yuan, because this is the identification fee for those professional wine tasters.

This is naturally nothing more than money for a real big distillery, just a drop in the bucket, and it is naturally nothing for Qi Lang now, but it can prevent those small distilleries or turtle workshops from participating indiscriminately, if they don't have confidence in their own wine, those people are reluctant to pay this money.

Of course, this is also because of the wide nature of the competition, not only wineries that have been invited, such as Qilang, who have top invitations or ordinary invitations, but other small wineries can also participate, but if they participate, they still need to go through a primary selection process before they can enter the second round and participate in the real competition.

At the wine tasting venue, Qi Lang walked in with Zhao Mingshan easily, it was already quite lively here, although he didn't have to participate in the first round of the competition, but Qi Lang also wanted to feel the atmosphere of the game in advance, which was a particularly interesting thing.

In the first round of the competition, although they are all small workshops and small wineries, and it may even be private local winemaking, but there are many masters among the people, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

And he has never participated in such a competition, so it is quite good to feel it, after all, at the beginning of the second round, Yunjiu's series of competitions will start to fight hard.

All kinds of wines, Qi Lang is dazzling, although the contestants are small wineries and small workshops, but they are also high-end wines, which have both ordinary glass bottle packaging, as well as a variety of other packaging, such as ceramics, crystal materials, and even high-end ones, and even bronze, purple sand bottles and so on.

From these numerous packages, Qi Lang can already see the grand occasion of this competition, this is only the first round of elimination primaries, it has attracted so many wineries, 100,000 yuan is not a small number for these small workshops, no one wants their money to be wasted, obviously they have strong confidence in their wine.

The aroma of the wine permeated all parts of the venue, and at each booth, there were special sommeliers who began to identify these wines one by one, and labeled the qualified products to enter the next round.

Time advances second by second, refusing to stop for a moment, the first round of eliminations at two o'clock, the results of the primary selection are announced, and the official wine tasting conference begins!

This year's National Wine Industry Competition Wine Tasting Conference, a total of more than 100 large and small wineries were shortlisted, and more than 200 small wineries participated in it, that is to say, just the shortlisted registration fee, this time the National Wine Industry Association earned more than 20 million, not to mention the sponsorship fees of various large wineries, and the rest of the public relations costs and the like.

In the end, there were a total of 182 entries, a total of early 100 entries, but there were 182 entries, this is because many of the entries are not just the same exhibits, such as Qi Lang's cloud wine series, there are two official works to participate.

The same is an ordinary supreme cloud wine with only a scarce agar jade, and the same is a supreme cloud wine with a perfect proportion of agar syrup and jade brewing, reaching the ultimate in the world's fine wine.

These two entries are the high-end cloud wine that Qi Lang wants to focus on, and they are also at least the wine that sells at sky-high prices.

These two kinds of wine are also the best wines that he will sell in limited quantities in the future, and he believes that these two wines will bring him amazing profits.

Huaxia is a wine table society, wine for many people are fatal attraction, with the human understanding of alcohol in recent years, coupled with the development of the Chinese economy, is to make the market of high-end wine more and more extensive, rich people to these wine is still good for the human body, is a pathological pursuit.

This is also the reason why those sky-high prices of fine wines can be stored zĂ i!

Of course, the strength of the big wineries is strong, and they naturally have more varieties of wines, for example, Wuliangye Winery not only has vintage wines, but also some other series of wines, including 'All the Luck Golden Diamond', 'Yuanqu Red Bottle' and so on.

The Wine Industry Association has a lot of tasters, and there are a hundred tasters on standby, which is enough for them to keep them in the best condition and fully taste the deliciousness of the wine.

These tasters, according to different grades, the choice of goals is also different, they are divided into three groups to participate in the tasting, this is also to ensure the fairness and justice of the tasting conference, as far as possible to make no irreparable mistakes.

Of course, Qi Lang doesn't know if there is a cat in this, but this is the regulation of the Wine Industry Association, since no one opposes it, then he has no reason to come out.

After all, the current Qi Lang is not the king of wine who has brought cloud wine to the whole country and created a series of sought-after series, and even the Modu Wine Industry Association represented by Wang Wei has not made a sound, obviously relative fairness can be guaranteed, at least Qi Lang does not have to worry about his cloud wine being buried.

After each taster has finished tasting, he or she will make a rating of the five or six wines he is responsible for, and then rank first and second to advance, and all the others will be eliminated.

In addition, if the contestant does not agree with the judgment, he or she will be able to pay 50,000 yuan and hire five more tasters to repeat the tasting. This time, the results will be combined with the scores of five tasters to select the finalists.

However, in previous wine tasting conferences, there has not been cheating and buying off the taster, or it has appeared, but it has not been exposed. After all, the reputation of the taster is important, and if the reputation is bad, how will it be mixed up in the future? That's the equivalent of losing your job!

Therefore, the vast majority of tasters are still very fair, which is why Qi Lang is not picky!

In the end, the wine still has to speak with strength, and it still has to be pushed to the market in the end, and the embroidered pillow can't really provoke the beam.

About fifteen minutes later, the first round of evaluation was completed, and Qi Lang naturally didn't need to say much, the two varieties of cloud wine he participated in were directly qualified as the first in the group he was in.

And this time, what he asked Zhao Mingshan to put out was just ordinary cloud wine, and the real good goods at the bottom of the box were not made at all.

After the first round of tasting, most of the contestants were eliminated, and only 80 contestants were left to participate in the second round of elimination.

The second round of elimination will be even more brutal!

Because of the rules of the second round of elimination, the 80 contestants were randomly assigned and divided into 10 groups. Subsequently, three to five tasters will be arranged to be in charge of a group, and the comprehensive score will be conducted again, and finally the contestant with the highest score will be selected and advanced to the top ten!
