Visiting the island is unforgettable. Everyone is a person who will enjoy it, and nature is how comfortable and how to play on this island.

When it's hot, swim in the ocean, or lie on a beach chair and enjoy the damp sea breeze. If you are energetic, you can also play beach volleyball, play beach soccer, and play whatever you want.

Because Xiao Afu is here, the dark circles under his eyes are also going to be there every day these days, and then when someone goes to the sea to swim, it will also test the speed with you, of course, it is a complete victory. On top of this, Liu Yunxuan's vigorous fluttering is not as good as others.

No matter how comfortable you play, you have to put it down temporarily, today is March 3rd, and it's almost the turn of your own wine tasting day, if you don't go over, it is estimated that Raymond will be anxious to look at them.

"Hey, we have too many bodyguards, otherwise one plane can fit and save a lot of money." On the way to Paris, Liu Yunxuan said with some regret.

Mansur on the side was speechless, this man sometimes thinks differently than normal people. Buying a sports car or a yacht can cost millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is distressing to fly in Paris.

Mansur also came to Liu Yunxuan's plane, he felt that it would be boring on his plane, so he came here, and he could play ≠± games with Fangfang if he had nothing to do.

"Great, the fragrant wine won't spoil on the plane, right?" Xiao Fangfang leaned over and asked nervously.

Before flying to Paris, I also went to the winery to load a lot of red wine, and when I returned home, I always had to bring some greeting gifts to everyone. However, this winery is all Fangfang, so this time it was also given in the name of Fangfang.

The little one was very happy, but also very worried, and he was afraid that these wines would not taste good. Last time, it was all in small barrels, but this time it's all bottles.

"You. Just put your heart in your little belly, it won't be broken. If you don't get some rest, you probably won't be able to do it by the time you get to Paris. Liu Yunxuan looked at the little guy and said funny.

"Yun Xuan, you can take Ah Fu to play for a while, the little guy is not very interested, I guess I miss the little animals at home." Michelle said after putting Xiao Afu into Liu Yunxuan's arms.

During this time, a group of small animals will gather around the little one every day. Even on the island, there are dark circles under the eyes to play with. Fortunately, there is none of them now. Liu Yunxuan wanted to bring the little peregrine falcons up, but then he thought that this was too troublesome, and he had to go back and forth for approval.

"Our family Ah Fu is the most well-behaved, and when the time comes, you can also play with your parents, and you can also play with Sister Fangfang and Sister Doudou, and when we return to China, you can also see a lot of different scenery." Liu Yunxuan grabbed Xiao Afu's little hand and slapped his little chubby foot and said.

Ah Fu's little chubby hands and little fat feet are his delicacies, and he will bite if he has nothing to do. But now he's a little older, too. It doesn't always sit in his mouth like he used to, I guess he just wants to taste something.

With Liu Yunxuan playing with him, Xiao Afu finally put down the small animals temporarily, and everyone didn't expect that such a big child would miss his little friends.

After the plane landed in France, everyone else was resting in the hotel, and Liu Yunxuan took Jack and Hou Xingyu directly to the venue of the VinaliesInternational Wine and Spirits Competition.

"Ray, how's it going this year?" Liu Yunxuan asked Raymond who came out to greet him.

"This year, there were also a lot of red wines that participated in the selection, and more than 3,000 samples were selected. The exact results will not be revealed until the 6th. But I'm confident. Raymond said confidently.

Liu Yunxuan followed Raymond into the tasting meeting, which was quite interesting to look at, but it was somewhat similar to the exhibition. The wineries that came to participate in the selection also had their own booths. A variety of wines are sold.

"Uh, Andy, our winery has prepared in a hurry this year, there is only this one at present, and we will have more varieties next year or the year after." After coming to the booth of his own winery, Raymond said a little embarrassed.

Liu Yunxuan looked at it, and there were a lot of wine bottles on the other side. Judging from the packaging, we also know that there are many types. But there is only one type of bottle on his side, and the rest of the place is occupied by large oak barrels.

"Let's look for some more vineyards this year, we'll have to expand the scale. However, I enjoyed it here, and I was able to smell the aroma of various wines. Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.

The wine here is also available for many people to taste for free, and the air in the exhibition hall is also filled with a faint aroma of wine. Because there are so many types of wine. The scent is also a bit mixed, but the smell is not annoying.

"There are also many wine lovers who come here every year to enjoy it." Raymond said with a smile.

Liu Yunxuan thought about it, the whole selection time is so long, and he drinks so many kinds every day, and he can taste many kinds of the whole thing. Maybe the price of which one will soar because of the gold award, and if you want to drink it in the future, you will have to buy it with real money.

"Ray, what is the selection method for this wine tasting? Is there a human operation that happens? Liu Yunxuan looked at Raymond and asked.

In today's society, as long as there is a loophole, this can make people drill, and there can be fraud in large-scale sports events such as the World Cup. As long as there are interests, there will be a breeding ground for lawbreakers.

"Andy, at this point you can rest assured. In today's increasingly globalized and regulated wine industry, Vinalies International has become an internationally recognized guideline. Raymond introduced with a smile.

"This is an international authoritative tasting competition initiated and sponsored by the French Winemakers Alliance, and co-organized by the 'World Vine and Wine Organization' and the 'World Wine Alliance' wine industry authority. Nowadays, the VINETIES competition has become synonymous with professionalism, rigor and credibility. ”

"In the course of the competition, renowned sommeliers from around the world are invited to conduct blind tastings and final judging of these samples. Because there are so many samples, these tasters are also divided into different groups of seven members each. The chair of the group must be a French winemaker, and the remaining members must include at least two French tasters and three tasters from other countries. ”

"It's a bit rigorous, but sometimes it's not so easy to determine. After all, sometimes there is only a slight difference in taste between two red wines. Liu Yunxuan asked curiously.

Although they are all professional sommeliers, they are still people, not machines. It is inevitable that there will be some errors, and there will inevitably be some mistakes in the whole process of evaluation.

That's why there are so many members on each judging panel. When there is a difference of opinion, they will reach an agreement through debate and reach a consensus. And the scoring and tasting notes during the tasting are also recorded in real time. Raymond nodded.

"And the reason I did this was to get a complete set of detailed tasting notes for each wine. The list of winning wines in the tasting competition will be compiled into a catalogue of the world's 1000 wines. ”

"Don't be angry with me if I say something, Raymond. If this wins the first place, how much more will this wine sell for than normal? Liu Yunxuan asked a little embarrassed. It's a judging contest on people's side, and it's an art to play, but I pounced directly on the money, which is somewhat uncomfortable.

"The normal price will increase by 4-20 times, and it also depends on the popularity of this wine." Raymond said with a smile.

Raymond didn't think anything was wrong. People also say that art is priceless, knowledge is priceless, and so on, but this pricelessness is often measured by money. For example, in winemaking, there is not that much money invested. Does a good wine just make it casually?

"Can you improve so much?" Liu Yunxuan asked with some surprise.

"Yes, the more credible the competition, the higher the price of the winning varieties will be. If it is made in the old world method, some wines cannot be measured in multiples because of the different vintages. Raymond nodded.

"Well, if you're okay this year, sign up for more of these large-scale wine tasting competitions, and then we can mark a string of award-winning logos on our wine labels. When the time comes, we will have the confidence to sell at a high price. Liu Yunxuan said with a smack.

Although the price will increase after winning the award, there is also a lot of room for flexibility. If you win more, you will be able to bid a higher price.

The house wine is really good. But there is still a way to go if you want to achieve the fame that the world's best wineries have. Only multiple awards can shorten this journey and make this wine known to more people.

As for how much will be supplied in the future, whether it is enough to sell is not a matter of self-consideration. The real good thing is always the one that is not enough to sell. Otherwise, you will sell it on the street, no matter how good this thing is, it is also a general commodity in the eyes of the people.

"Andy, don't worry. I also signed up for some competitions, and when it was time to compete, the plane was available for me to use. Raymond said with a smile.

The VinaliesInternational Wine & Spirits Competition is your own test of the waters, and after you get the ranking here, you can participate in other well-known competitions one after another, and the more medals you win, the more you can be recognized.

"Tomorrow is the final judging. Our wines have been shortlisted, and the results will be announced the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, you can bring Angela over and watch it together, she is the little owner of our winery. When Liu Yunxuan was sent out, Raymond said invitingly.

"Don't worry, except for Mansur, everyone will come over to cheer you on the day after tomorrow. After the list of awards is announced the day after tomorrow, we will go back to Huaxia. Liu Yunxuan patted Raymond's shoulder and said.

Liu Yunxuan understands his mood very well, the more he looks forward to success, the more he needs his friends to share with him. (To be continued......)
