Chapter 61
"The best drinking period for red wine or something should be three to five years. Better, the red wine produced by first-class wineries may reach five to fifteen years, or even longer."
"But once it's over twenty years, the taste of this red wine will begin to decline."
"In fact, those red wines with very old cellar age do not drink the taste of the red wine itself, but the stories contained in the wine."
Lin Chu took the red wine from Zhou Shihua's hand, and then used a bottle opener to remove the cork sealed on the bottle.
In just a blink of an eye, a smell of wine drifted out. Although it was a little light, it had a different taste.
Su Zilin took a few goblets from the side, and Lin Chu poured some of them into one of the cups. The red wine looked at the light on the ceiling, and it seemed to emit a radiant light.
Zhou Shihua shook the red wine in the goblet, pressed the tip of her nose against the goblet and sniffed it, then slightly raised the goblet, and pushed the small amount of wine in the glass against the tip of her tongue, taking a sip.
Just a mouthful, a light flashed in Zhou Shihua's eyes, "It's indeed a good thing."
"It's that exaggerated." Xu Wanrong smiled and tasted the wine in the glass like Zhou Shihua. It can be seen that in this regard, Xu Wanrong and Zhou Shihua seem to have received professional training.
After taking a sip, Xu Wanrong's face also changed, and her eyes fell on Lin Chu, "Xiao Chu, is there any wine left? If there is still some, can you give the aunt a bottle evenly?"
Zhou Shihua next to her also hurriedly said, "Little boy, you can't favor one or the other. Wanrong is your elder, and I can barely count it as such. If you give it to her, you have to give me a bottle."
Although this statement is a bit unreasonable, Zhou Shihua can't help it in order to make good wine.
"Is it that delicious?" Su Zilin muttered, then took a sip by herself, who was unbelievable, and then frowned, "I feel that it is not as good as the red wine from some second-level estates I have drunk in France."
The wine gives her a little sourness and a little astringent, just like a copycat wine made by an unscrupulous manufacturer, and it is not even a copycat wine.
"You don't understand," Xu Wanrong shook her head, "This wine must have been stored for many years. When I drink it on the first day of the New Year, it really doesn't taste very good, but if I taste it carefully, I can still feel the rich sense of layering."
Zhou Shihua also said with a smile, "The fruity red wine of old age is less than that of lighter years. The taste will be smoother and the flavor of chocolate and licorice will be stronger. This wine must have been stored for many years."
"In fact, this wine has always been stored in the most suitable temperature and in the most suitable place. However, it has been too long, so the taste will be astringent and sour. "Lin Chu said from the side.
These are all explained from Taobao Mall.
This wine is priced at 9999 in the mall. You should know that Lin Chu bought 10% of Koenigseger's shares for 9999. It can be seen that the preciousness of this bottle of wine is.
"Every bottle of wine with vintage has its own story. I don't know what the story does this bottle have?" Xu Wanrong said curiously.
Compared to wine, she wants to know the stories in the wine more. In fact, most of these vintage red wines are used for collection, and what they are precious is the history contained in wine.
This is like history, but the difference is that some red wine can be used to drink.
Lin Chu shook the red wine in the goblet, as if through the red wine, he saw some historical scenes. "1776 was an extraordinary year, because in that year the United States defeated colonial plunderers from other countries and formally achieved national independence."
"To commemorate this great vintage, they used the best grapes and the best raw materials in North America at that time, and made hundreds of red wines."
"Actually, it was not a good year for red wine, nor was it as good brewing technology as it is now, but there is no doubt that this is a wine of unique significance."
"This wine has been around for more than two hundred years?" Su Zilin's eyes flashed with surprise.
Next to her, Xu Wanrong and Zhou Shihua looked at each other, and a heavy look flashed in their eyes. They felt that the wine in their hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Compared to the year of this wine, what is even more shocking is the story in the wine. It can be said that the value of this wine is immeasurable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure.
If it is placed in an auction, I don’t know what high price it can be sold.
Zhou Shihua once drank Bordeaux red wine for hundreds of years, but compared with this bottle, it was really a slim thing.
"Okay, OK, it's just a story." Lin Chu smiled, not caring much, "Anyway, the wine has been drunk, let's try my skills again."
"good."
Xu Wanrong and Zhou Shihua nodded, but they never mentioned anything like giving wine or making jokes. Even if Lin Chu gave them this kind of wine, they would not dare to accept it.
This significance is really too extraordinary, and the value in it is even more immeasurable. If you really get this wine, you will owe a huge favor.
The four of them were basically eating dishes for the next time, but after each person's cup of wine bottomed out, Lin Chu would pour some of it, making people unable to help but try it.
It took me more than an hour to eat a meal, and the bottle of red wine was completely seen.
"Xiao Chu's craftsmanship is indeed amazing," Xu Wanrong said with a smile. "Auntie has eaten a lot of good things over the years. The things you make are enough to match some chefs in five-star hotels. Whoever marrys you will be blessed in the future."
"I have the idea of bringing you by my side and being a cook for me." Zhou Shihua also said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, do you have a girlfriend?"
"It's still... not yet." Lin Chu, who was cleaning the table, was stunned for a moment.
"Auntie has a daughter who is about the same age as you. Otherwise, my aunt will introduce her to you?" Zhou Shihua said with a smile.
