Chapter 181: Wine Tasting (Part II)

"This is made by my personal tailor. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Carol Road.

"I was presumptuous." Robert chuckled lightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Mr. Xiao Jiu, Robert is the heir to the largest winery in Spain, Vallenia." Li Zan took the time to introduce the identity of the foreigner and said, "Mr. Xiao Jiu is the founder of the Elf Winery. The elf wines that will be on display tonight are the first products of their winery. ”

"Okay, I'll definitely try the elf wine when I have the chance." Robert stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Jiu.

In the next half hour, Li Zan took Xiao Jiu to meet with more than a dozen people in the grape circle.

"What a lovely little girl!"

"This is your sister-in-law, right?"

"Your Highness, you shine brightly tonight."

What made Xiao Jiu feel speechless was that everyone who talked to him in the circle was even more enthusiastic about Carlo, but instead indifferent him, the owner of the Elf Winery.

"Boring people." On a rest sofa in the venue, Carol still maintained an elegant sitting posture, but yawned and said.

"Is Your Highness feeling bored?" Li Zan picked up the water cup and took a sip and said.

"This kind of banquet is not interesting." Carol said bluntly.

Xiao Jiu and Li Zan looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke.

"Baron, I can see that everyone is very polite to you." Carol stretched out her hand to straighten the black skirt and commented, "However, they are just polite to you on the surface, and they don't reassure you at all." ”

How can this kid tell the truth? When Xiao Jiu heard this, he couldn't refute it.

Most of the people in the circle who talked to him just now were polite and polite, and they didn't have much interest in elf wine.

There were some barrages of recognition in the live broadcast room-

"6666, I think Carol is right."

"Well, to talk to these people, you might as well go to an ATM."

"Big news! The bounty of the Ninth Master on the wanted warrant has risen to 400,000 silver coins! ”

"That's a lot of silver, kneel and beg for a way to the earth! I want to capture the Ninth Master alive! ”

"Mother, whoever dares to touch the ninth master, I can't get along with anyone!"

Putting down the cup in his hand, Li Zan comforted: "Mr. Xiao Jiu, elf wine is indeed not very popular now. But I believe that in the wine tasting session, the fame of Elf Wine will definitely skyrocket. ”

"Accept your words." Xiao Jiu said: "Mr. Li, can you tell me the specific process of wine tasting?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Zan said: "In this session, the organizer will send three sommeliers to comment on the newly launched wines of major wineries and give a comprehensive rating...... Alright, the wine tasting is about to begin, let's go over. ”

In the center of the venue, on a simple stage.

A well-figured female host in a gauze dress is holding a microphone to enliven the atmosphere.

And nearby, dozens of round tables were already full of costumed guests.

"The judges of today's wine tasting are the most well-known tasters in the Chinese circle, they are Liu Jiuxian from Xiangjiang, and Liu Jiuxian from ......" The hostess began to introduce the judges, and when a name was introduced, someone would stand up and greet the audience.

"The tasting has officially begun! The first wine on stage today is Feiyun from Vallena, Spain! The hostess announced in a raised voice.

On a seat near the stage.

Xiao Jiu, Xie Yan'er, and Carol sat together, watching a hostess lady holding a bottle of wine in her hand come to the stage, uncork and pour three glasses of wine for the three judges.

On the judges' bench, a 30-year-old dark-skinned taster picked up a goblet and took a sip of it, closed his eyes slightly and commented: "This wine has a mellow taste and a moderate sweetness, which suits my taste very well...... Overall, this Feiyun can be rated as superior. ”

"Liu Jiuxian, I don't agree with what you say." Another sommelier also put down his glass and said, "This wine is okay in terms of body and taste, but the sugar content is not too good, and there is ...... Overall, I think it should be rated as moderate. ”

Below the stage, some of the audience let out a good-natured laugh, and it was clear that, as audience members, they liked to see the judges disagree.

The first two judges gave their opinions, and the third judge quickly gave their opinions.

The hostess took the stage again to summarize the wine evaluation just now, and under the stage, many people began to wave to the nearby waiters, asking them to have a glass of "Feiyun".

"Feiyun has about thirty cups." At the same table, Li Zan watched the waiter shuttling between the banquets with wine, and said.

"There are still twenty wines to be played, so everyone is not in a hurry." Xie Yan'er said softly.

There were about 350 guests on the scene, and it was impossible for everyone to try every wine.

"The next one to come on the stage is the Xiagan ...... of Changcheng Wine Ganzhou Winery," the host continued to introduce.

Changcheng wine is one of the largest wine brands in China, and the wine produced by Ganzhou Winery is the crown jewel of this brand. For this wine, the three tasters gave it a superior, medium and medium rating.

In the following period, five more wines were brought to the judging table, and one of them was a poor performer, receiving two neutral and one negative rating.

"This evaluation is already very impressive for the brand." Li Zan introduced the judging rules to Xiao Jiu: "At the SEG wine tasting, even if it is a bad wine, the judges will give a maximum of two negative reviews and one medium evaluation. Like this kind of evaluation, one bad review and two medium reviews, it means that the wine is really not very good. ”

At the ordering banquet, all the guests obviously knew this "unspoken rule", and only one person ordered this wine.

"Below is the elf wine from the Elf Winery." While the hostess was smiling and talking, the waitress had already served three glasses of wine to the three judges.

"Xiao Jiu, the wine you brew smells the best." Carlo, who has always rarely made a sound, sniffed the faint smell of wine in the air and said.

"Mr. Xiao Jiu, Your Highness really gives you face." Li Zan laughed and quipped.

On the judges' bench.

Liu Jiuxian sniffed the wine lightly and his brows relaxed, and after taking a sip of the cup, he couldn't help but take the second and third sips, and quickly drank all the glasses of wine.

"Inferior." Qi Jiuxian's brows furrowed, and he said with some hatred: "The smell of this wine is too strong, and the sweetness is not particularly positive, it is similar to the low-grade wine on the market, if it doesn't appear at the wine tasting, I really suspect that this is a cottage wine, not a wine produced by the winery." ”

The guests below whispered, and on the judge's table, the second judge put down his glass unhappily and said: "I agree with Liu Jiuxian's evaluation, this wine is obviously made from old oak barrels that have been eliminated, and the taste is similar to the counterfeit mid-range wines on the market." Personally, I feel that the winemakers of this wine have not put their minds on winemaking! ”
