There are five grades of wineries in France, and the third level is actually only medium-grade, but in France, when considering wineries, it is important to look at their position. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are a lot of wines, like the AOC-level wineries mentioned by An Luowen before, which is actually the English abbreviation of "Controlled Table Wine in the Legal Area of Origin".

This grade of wine is the highest grade of French wine, and the grape varieties, planting quantities, winemaking process, and alcohol content of the region of origin used to make wine must be certified by experts, and it can only be made from grapes grown in the country of origin, and must not be mixed with grape juice from other places. Therefore, the purity of the taste of the wine can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, the number of this wine is small, the AOC production accounts for about 35% of the total production of French wine, and the bottle label of this wine will be marked with the words "Appellation + appellation + Controlee".

For Lin Quan, wine seems to have only one taste, and he can't drink the difference at all, so he is a little dismissive of this so-called AOC.

But An Luowen directly took out two glasses of wine for him to taste, if you look at these two glasses of wine from the outside, the difference in appearance can be said to be almost none, at least Lin Quan can't see much difference.

"This is two kinds of wine, one is a blend of grapes imported from other regions and local grapes to make a second-class red wine, this wine is known as a daily drinking wine in our France, the lowest grade is the fourth, and this glass is made after the grapes in the designated area of our winery, the grapes selected are basically picked from a vine to ensure the purity of the taste, so it is the first grade of red wine belonging to the AOC level, Mr. Lin, you can taste it for yourself to see if there is no difference between the two red wines！”

And this kind of good thing? Free wine?

Lin Quan was not polite, and first tasted the fourth-class wine in An Luowen's mouth, that is, the daily meal wine, which is said to be the longest wine drunk by civilians.

Lin Quan doesn't like the taste of this wine too much, the taste is a little weird, it can't be said to be delicious, it can't be said to be unpleasant, in short, there is the taste of grapes in it, after all, Lin Quan rarely drinks wine, he used to make wine when he was on his own farm, and the taste seems to be similar to this.

"How's it going, Mr. Lin, it tastes good!"

An Luowen looked at Lin Quan with a smile on his face, of course this sentence is a joke, the taste of the wine drunk by civilians is naturally not much better, and its existence can only solve the problem of existence and non-existence, and it is not of high grade.

"Now you can try this wine again, it's the second best wine in our winery!"

Lin Quan couldn't help but look at this glass of wine a few more times, this winery is a second-class winery, although it is not as famous as the five major wineries, but they also have the hope of impacting the first-class winery in the future, so their good wine is naturally not too bad.

Sure enough, the taste of this wine is obviously different from the kind of wine just now, Lin Quan even tasted some aromas in it, the taste is very unique, it seems to be like the taste of violet, this taste is very light and not easy to detect, but there is indeed something in this glass of wine.

He shook the goblet and stared at the wine for a moment, and found that the wine did not have a trace of magazines or bubbles when it was shaken, and he did not understand why, but this was the case with the previous wine, and it was obvious that the brewing methods used by the two were very different.

"The taste of this wine is indeed better, the taste is more mellow, more pure. ”

There is indeed a big difference between the two wines, so Lin Quan didn't hide anything.

"Hehe, as I said, the wine is also superior, and the AOC wine is much better than other wines, how about it, do you want to come with me to have a look now?"

"No problem! Actually, I had already decided to go with you, and it was you who wanted to prove the difference to me with your wine, so I lost time!"

Lin Quan didn't give An Luowen any face, but the latter was not angry, the people who came to the door were all guests, Lin Quan was not a person in this industry, so he naturally didn't know so much about the things in this industry, so he told him more, although it seemed like a waste of time, but it could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, so as not to be entangled in the future.

The trio quickly set off in the car of Ann Rowan Farm, heading to his friend's winery.

There are many wineries in the Bordeaux region, each with different characteristics, but they also have a lot in common, many places are centered on a castle, and then a wide range of areas with good light and good location are selected for grape cultivation, and then wine production, their behavior is no longer a business, more like a kind of inheritance, for example, the winery run by Ann Rowen was established in 1778, and has been passed down for 12 generations, and he himself is the successor of 12 generations.

An Luowen is not very old, only in his early thirties this year, and a decent suit, coupled with the orthodox aristocratic education he received since childhood, makes him look polite and like a gentleman.

Lin Quan chatted with him for a while, and gradually got to know a certain amount of this guy, knowing the long history of their family-like inheritance, and also understanding the hidden dangers under their inheritance.

"Our family was originally a knight, the current château of the winery is the fief of my ancestors in the past, you know, the southern region of France rarely experienced war, so our side is rarely affected by the war, so the knight's fief is very stable, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the winery in the future, but because the times are progressing and developing, so this kind of inheritance winery now has a lot of problems, for example, our winery, I didn't like to take over this winery, but no way, this is the family industry, if I don't take over, I can only sellIf I sell my family's winery, I will not be forgiven in the future, and I, as a member of the family, also have the responsibility to pass on this business and this culture of the family. ”

"French wineries are not like a business and an industry, but more like a cultural inheritance, like the five major wineries, they obviously have more scientific and more advanced means and technology can be adopted, but they just did not use, still retain the most primitive technology and technology, this is not conservative, but more like a kind of cultural persistence, so when the beer production is increasing year after year, the output of our wine has not changed much, the number of first-class wines that appear every year of the five major wineries has not changed for almost hundreds of years, just to cater to the market and brew a large number of second-class wine, which is actually their insistence！”

After Denise and Lin Quan heard this, they were very surprised, they didn't know that Ming Ming wine was so famous in France, and there were unlimited business opportunities, why they were so stubborn and conservative, but now they understood it after listening to An Luowen's explanation.

"Then if this is your cultural heritage, why do you want to help your friend sell his winery? Isn't that a ruin of his family culture? If I buy it, will I be a sinner?"

Lin Quan's question surprised An Luowen, after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "My friend is the same as me, he doesn't like to stay in the countryside all day to make wine and manage the winery, he is younger than me, he yearns for a free life outside, if this is his dream, I think we should respect his dream!"
