Chapter 311: The Game Begins
"Look, look, the masters are coming, the masters are coming!"
I don't know who said it, followed by everyone's eyes all looking in the direction of the door, and at this time, in the direction of the door, I saw a group of people surrounded by three men of not a small grade coming over.
The three men, one Chinese and two white foreigners, were discussed by the exhibitors below.
"Look, look, the masters are here, the Chinese man in the middle is Wang Zuixian, the president of our Huaxia Wine Association, and the two foreigners next to him, one is the French master wine taster Henry Robert, and the other is the American master wine taster Tom Gooding."
Surrounded by a group of staff, the three masters came to sit down in front of the rostrum, and then a host picked up the microphone and said: "Everyone gather in the middle, our conference is about to start, first of all, let me introduce myself, I am Wang Dongdong, the host of this conference!" ”
Wang Dongdong first introduced the masters who participated in the meeting, and then introduced the five people sitting next to the masters, these five people are five senior members of the wine association selected from all over the world, they are used as juries, and their opinions will be used as a reference when tasting the wine for a while.
The host introduced it, and soon the people around were all around, including Chinese people and foreigners, but almost all of them were crazy lovers of wine.
The host announced the start of the competition, first of all, the audition, the so-called audition, that is, all exhibitors use their own company's ordinary products to register, and then the organizer will put the wine of each company in a glass without any logo, and then let people serve it to the five jurors to taste.
If the five jurors think it's good, they can move on to the next step, and if the five judges think it's not good, then the wine will be blocked.
In the whole process, only the organizer knows who the wine without a label represents, because the organizer has a booklet, which records the name of the wine and the name of the waiter, if the wine is qualified, the waiter will be named and left, and then use the waiter's name to find the wine brand, which ensures the fairness of the competition to a certain extent.
At the beginning of the competition, Song Zihang directly chose the ordinary royal wine, Song Zihang provided a sample, handed it to the organizer, and then the audition began, and the five judges sat there, each took a sip of the red wine served, and left it if it was okay, and let the waiter retreat if not.
After this operation, the delegation of 50 or 60 people, only 20 teams were left standing on the stage, and the organizers read the names according to the list.
When the name was announced, in the end, only Song Zihang's Chinese wine was selected, and all the other Chinese wines were unacceptable.
However, several major brands of Chinese wine are quite acceptable to see this result, after all, none of them are qualified to participate in the exhibition around the world, but this year, there are royal wines qualified, which makes the few remaining brands in the Chinese wine industry put their hopes on Song Zihang.
and blessed Song Zihang, Song Zihang was very happy about this, accepted the blessings of these people very happily, and promised to get good results.
As long as the best wine in their own winery can beat Song Zihang's royal wine in the next competition, then the victory will belong to us, and the Huaxia wine market will also be scored by us.
The Chinese wine market sells foreign red wine, which has to be said to be a kind of irony, and it is also the pain in the hearts of all Chinese wine people, including Wang Zuixian sitting on the rostrum, and many people who like wine and love wine.
This is like basketball fans like basketball, a Chinese fan watches foreigners shoot every day, I have to say that it is a kind of sadness, why can't the Chinese people's own basketball become strong!
Therefore, Song Zihang's Royal Wine advanced to the semi-finals with the expectations of all Chinese wine people, and the semi-finals were actually very simple, using a one-on-one duel, and the judges were still the five senior members of wine associations from different regions.
At the beginning of the semi-finals, it is a one-on-one duel, and the method is that the old top ten wine brands are the champions, and the new wine brands are drawn to thunder.
The purpose of this format is not to let the strong collide together, which will lead to the elimination of the strong, so the mode of the main and defensive is adopted.
Song Zihang was arranged to go to the lottery, and directly drew a top ten wine brand called Lawrence Wine Castle, and then played the semi-finals.
The semi-finals were played one by one, and the Lawrence Wine Castle was ranked last, and the competition was chosen in such a way that each of the five judges tasted two wine brands, and finally the five judges voted by a show of hands in favor of the wine brand, and then the wine brand would win.
The top 10 wine brands are still very powerful, and each of them has brought out the best collection of wines from their own winery, such as Romanée Conti's 1996 red wine, Lafite's 82-year-old ......
Don't think that 82-year-old Lafite is very easy to obtain, you must know that the 82-year-old Lafite sold on the market is basically fake, most of them are 96-year-old Lafite, and some even use Lafite around 2002 to fill the number, so the red wine in the name of 82-year-old Lafite on the market will buy tens of thousands of yuan.
And the real 82-year-old Lafite, if you want to buy it now, you basically can't buy it, only there is still some stock in the cellar of Château Lafite.
The top ten brands almost easily defeated their opponents, and in the end, Song Zihang and Lawrence Wine Castle were left in the wine showdown, this wine showdown was very strong, and the rest of the top ten brands of wine merchants found Lawrenceburg wine merchants and said: "I said let's not hide it, just take out the wine bar you are going to participate in the finals, and kill the royal wine with one blow, so that he will not be able to participate in the finals." ”
Hearing this, Lawrence Wine Castle looked at the top ten brands and said: "Originally, I was going to use my bottle of stock to teach you a lesson in the finals, but now I have to use it in the semi-finals, which is a little unwilling." ”
The other winemakers understood what Lawrence Château meant when they heard this, so the top ten wineries decided to give Lawrence Fort a little discount, that is, in the next year, in the Chinese market, each of them gave a share of one thousandth of the profit, and it was time for Lawrence Winery to make a lot of money.
Hearing this, Lawrence Wine Castle was moved, looked at several major wine merchants and said, "Okay, then I'll take out the red wine I participated in the finals to deal with him!" ”
