"Is this, is this wine? Looking at the age of this bucket, I'm afraid it's more than a thousand years, right? Desla looked at the old oak barrel and asked.

Oak storage wine has a long history and a long history. It has a history of thousands of years. The world-famous Hennessy, Martell, Napoleon, Rentouma, etc. are all aged in oak barrels. Because the elegant name of the wine stored in oak barrels is recognized and loved by consumers, oak barrels are increasingly favored by winemakers around the world, especially winemakers from the New World. A bottle of high-quality wine is like a beautiful work of art! The wine aged in oak barrels, in addition to the characteristics, variety aroma and wine aroma of the grapes themselves, will also give the drinker a pleasant aroma of vanilla or cocoa, coffee, or both.

According to the history of English brewing, in the 17th century, in order to resist the malt tax imposed by political axes, British winemakers made oak barrels of different sizes and put all the wine in oak barrels and put them in caves. After a year, they took out the barrels. A miracle happened. They found that the color of the wine turned golden. The taste of the wine is extremely mellow, accompanied by a fragrance that has never been seen before. After careful study, people found that it turned out to be the strange effect of oak barrels, because oak itself contains "tannin", which can quickly promote the ripening of the wine and make the wine more mellow and closer to amber in a short time. As a result, oak storage wine was produced.

During the period of storage in oak barrels, the suspended impurities in the wine will gradually precipitate over time. Then the employees in the wine cellar will thoroughly filter and isolate the precipitated wine and wine with a series of operating procedures. This step alone should be carried out at least four times a year. In the second year, six beaten egg whites will be added to each oak barrel to accelerate the precipitation of wine residue again.

The purpose of storing wine in oak barrels is to allow the wine to fully absorb the essence of oak and give the wine a certain degree of oxidation. The type and quantity of substances absorbed by wine and the degree of oxidation directly affect the senses of the wine, which largely depends on the choice of oak barrels. Therefore, the first thing a winemaker should do before brewing is to choose the right oak barrel.

Zhao Yue said with a smile, "You are indeed a wine tasting expert. At a glance, you can see that this barrel has been more than a thousand years. To tell you the truth, the barrel and the wine have never been separated, so the wine in it has a history of more than a thousand years!"

"Oh! My Satan! Although I have lived for hundreds of years, I have never drunk wine for more than a thousand years. I'm afraid it's the last barrel of wine in the world for more than a thousand years!" Desla shouted enthusiastically.

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "I said I would treat you to a good drink!" This barrel of wine is up to you to deal with. How to get the wine out until you drink it in the guest's mouth without destroying its taste? What utensils do you need in the middle? I really don't understand these."

Desra was immediately ecstatic and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will keep the wine in the mouths of the guests."

There are still dozens of barrels in Zhao Yue's universe ring, and he is also going to send him a bucket when Desra comes back. Although the space in the universe ring is a space for reading, it cannot keep time without passing. These wines have as many years of history as they are loaded. The Xiantao he brought back from the top of the snow had long been practiced as an elixir after he came back, leaving only a small part to be stored in a special way, otherwise it would break down after a long time.

An hour later, the guests arrived at the hall one after another. There were more than a dozen small coffee tables, a cushion behind the coffee table, and a separate coffee table for each person.

Zhao Yue and Annie asked the guests to sit cross-legged. At this time, Desla stood up and said happily, "Gentlemen, because of your arrival, Zhao has prepared a unique wine in the world today. It has a history of more than a thousand years. Gentlemen, I can guarantee that you have never drunk Portuguese that has been stored for so long. Wine!" !

As his voice fell, the guests who sat down were all exclaimed! More than a thousand years? Oh, my God! So can't its history be traced back to the 18 generations of the ancestors of all the people present?

Annie clapped her hands in the discussion after the exclamation of the guests. Several waiters began to prepare the dishes. In order to prepare the banquet, Zhao Yue specially invited a party. Although these people could not make the taste of the hotel, the taste of the dishes they made was also unique.

After the dishes were served, Li Yi took his brothers and sisters to come in with two bottles of glass wine on a plate and put a bottle on each guest's table. The color of wine can be seen through the glass bottle. It is incomparable and unique to today's wine. Gentlemen, since you have come to me, I will invite you to taste the taste of Chinese cuisine. This wine was just taken by Lao De from the oak barrel. Come and taste it, please!" Zhao Yue and Annie sat in the main seat and asked everyone to start.

When Zhao Yue finished speaking, everyone began to pick up the bottle, open the cap and pour a glass for himself. They tasted it gently. The smell was fragrant, the taste was mellow and rich, and the mouth was smooth. After swallowing, the smell of wine lingered in the throat.

Zhao Yue looked at everyone's intoxicated look, especially the blood people. They have the deepest research on wine and have high requirements for drinking, but they have never drunk wine for such a long time. He picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Annie and himself and said, "Baby, you can try it too!"

Annie picked up the glass and took a sip, "It's delicious! It's so delicious. Where did you get it? She asked excitedly.

Zhao Yue pretended to be mysterious and said, "I won't tell you!"

When Annie saw him pretending to be mysterious, she stared at him angrily and made a gesture that she wanted you to look good at night!

Zhao Yue smiled. Seeing that everyone was drinking, he said to Li Yi next to him, "You all go to the table too!"

Li Yi said "yes" and then took a few brothers and sisters to the eight-person table next to him.

At this time, the pianist Nord raised his glass and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have never drunk such a good wine. I think this is the only time I drank it in my life. This is really the most unforgettable memory in my life. The taste of Chinese food is very delicious, and each dish has a lot of complex flavors. I think I really have no appetite to eat western food in the future. Thank you for your hospitality!"

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. When you and the gentlemen here return to China, I will send you each of the same bottle of wine!"

Others who were slowly tasting wine were very happy to hear that Zhao Yue would send them a bottle back. For a while, the guests were happy!
