How did the history of Shacheng Great Wall wine come about"Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Dawan": In the third year of Jianyuan in the Western Han Dynasty (138 BC), Zhang Qian was ordered by Emperor Wu of Han to travel to the Western Regions. He saw that "around Wanzhou, grapes were used as wine, and wealthy people stored more than ten thousand stones of wine. Some remained unbeaten for decades. Subsequently, 'the Han envoy took the grapes, so the emperor began to plant alfalfa, cattails, and fertilize the land...' It is known that in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, farmers in the Central Plains region had already learned that grapes could be used to make wine and introduced Eurasian grapes to the Central Plains. They not only introduced grapes, but also brought in winemakers. Since the Western Han Dynasty, China has had wine makers with Western methods. During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, once said, "Let's talk about grapes. They are drunk and stay awake. They are eaten with dew covered; they are sweet but not donated, crispy but not given up, cold but not cold, with a long and juicy taste that can relieve annoyance and quench thirst. They are also brewed as wine, sweet as yeast, good at getting drunk but easy to wake up..." This has a very clear understanding of the characteristics of grapes and wine. Wine is only consumed among the nobility, and the common people have no such taste
The production method of Shacheng Great Wall wine
Firstly, removing the stems, that is, taking the grape grains from the comb shaped branches. Due to the high content of tannic acid in the stems, there is an unpleasant taste in the wine
Secondly, press the fruit granules. When making red wine, the grape skins and flesh are pressed simultaneously, and the red pigment contained in red wine is released during the pressing of the grape skins. That's why all red wines are red in color
Thirdly, juice extraction and fermentation. After juicing, the raw material for making wine - grape juice - can be obtained. With wine juice, good wine can be brewed, and wine is a product obtained through fermentation. After fermentation, the sugar contained in grapes will gradually be converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Therefore, during the fermentation process, the sugar content decreases while the alcohol content increases. Through a slow fermentation process, red wine with a delicate and aromatic taste can be produced
