Wine is alive. The moment fermentation ends, it is born. The long aging process that follows is a journey to maturity, just like the human race from infancy to prime.

This ripening process ranges from a few years to several decades. When they reach the peak of life, which is what humans call the best drinking period, they will be opened and watered to the taste buds and soul of human beings.

In the early days, wines were mostly kept in oak barrels, and it was not until the 19th century that they had a new home, the glass bottle.

Of course, this does not mean that no one used glass containers to serve wine earlier, and the history of glass is also thousands of years, just to say that it was shipped in barrels on a large scale.

As the practice of serving wine in glass bottles became popular around the world, a new way of aging also emerged.

Bottle Chen. and traditional

"Barrel Chen" distinguishes it. The flavor, aroma and color of a wine suitable for bottle aging will change in the bottle.

The key to change is the stopper. Due to the excellent sealing of glass wine bottles, if the mouth of the bottle is blocked with a tight stopper, the wine in the bottle will lose the opportunity to communicate with the outside world and will lose its vitality.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a cork with subtle breathability to allow the wine in the bottle to breathe and have a chance to mature.

Reading the book at the Château de Cherch, Ringer had determined that the wine made from the grapes there was more suitable for bottle aging.

But where the bottles come from is a question. The appearance of the powder hammer gave him hope to solve the wine bottle problem.

As for the cork? Cork stoppers on the other side of the globe are used

"Cork oak" made from the bark of the tree. This cork oak has two layers of bark, the outer layer of renewable bark that is the material from which the cork is made.

Ringer believes that in otherworldly continents, where forests far exceed those of Earth, better materials for making cork stoppers will be found.

"What, you want us to make a stone crystal bottle for you?" Upon hearing Ringer's proposal, Pink Hammer exclaimed, looking at him with a foolish gaze.

In her opinion, although Shi Jing is good-looking, it is easy to break, why use such a fragile thing to hold wine?

Isn't it bad to use a sturdy barrel? In the eyes of the dwarves, Shi Jing belongs to the kind of thing that is not useful, and only superficial human nobles will like it.

Dwarves don't like this kind of pretty but fragile thing, gold is their favorite. Gold, which is both beautiful and strong, symbolizes wealth, and this is a good thing.

They produced small quantities of stone crystal products solely for the purpose of trading with the human nobles in exchange for gold, silver, and grain.

So when he heard that Ringer wanted a large number of wine bottles made of stone crystals, Powder Hammer immediately felt that this man's brain should be broken.

"What, can't you?"

"Do you know what price we paid when we sold the stone crystal products to the human nobles? Almost the same weight of gold. Pink Hammer reminded.

Ringer smiled and said, "Make glass...... Ah, it's the stone crystal in your mouth, it should be very simple for you dwarves, right? Pink Hammer didn't speak, but she looked at it

"How do you know?" The expression had betrayed her. Stone crystal is as precious as gold in the eyes of humans, but in the eyes of dwarves, it is bullshit, and it can be produced as much as you want.

However, the dwarves are well aware of the fact that scarcity is precious, so they deliberately control the production of stone crystals, so as to maintain their status as equivalent to gold, and exchange them for something truly valuable from humans.

Seeing that the powder hammer remained silent, Ringer smiled: "Ordinary human craftsmen can't produce stone crystals because the furnace is not hot enough, but the dwarven furnace can reach a higher temperature, and it is easy to melt mountain stones. In your eyes, Shijing must be a very cheap thing. ”

"Even if you say that, the village chief won't agree to help you produce stone crystal wine bottles in large quantities. If you do that, you won't be able to exchange it for gold. Hammer was impressed with Ringer and reminded him.

She didn't think that Ringer would order a stone crystal wine bottle with the same amount of gold, and he was not a dragon, so how could he get so much gold.

Even if the evil dragon that owns the gold mountain, if all of it is used to exchange the stone crystal wine bottle, with the production speed in the village, its gold mountain can be emptied in a few days.

"What if I trade it for wine?"

"What?" Powder Hammer was stunned. For the dwarves, if they want to find something more precious than gold, there is only one answer.

Wine. Dwarves who don't drink alcohol are more likely to be ridiculed and ostracized than dwarves who are slick around their mouths.

"I can't even drink alcohol, what do you do when you go out, go home and find your mother to drink milk." If a dwarf who doesn't drink comes into view of the other dwarves, he will be greeted like this.

Ringer touched the storage ring on his hand, and a dark red bottle of wine appeared in front of Pink Hammer's eyes. This is a sample bottle of wine that he filled with his own hands when he visited Madame Succubus's wine cellar.

"This bottle of wine, you take it back and give it to your village chief, and after he drinks it, then make my request, I think he will consider it." A confident smile tugged at the corners of Ringer's mouth.

Although the wines produced by Château Sehi have not yet been refined by him, they are rare and good wines in this world.

Even if it is taken to the earth, it can be sold for sky-high quality wines. After all, the quality of the grapes as raw materials is really amazing, and the grapes in that estate, the Mei Le Zhu, are the strongest grapes he has ever seen.

The wine made from this grape is more precious than gold.
