How to distinguish red wine from foreign wine? The difference between red wine and foreign wine

For experienced wine experts, distinguishing between red wine and foreign wine is a piece of cake, but for ordinary wine lovers, this question is a bit difficult. After all, some red wines and foreign wines look the same, and it is even difficult to tell them apart. What are the differences between red wine and foreign wine?

Red wine generally refers to grape wine

In the Chinese vocabulary, red wine refers to red wine with an alcohol content of less than 14 degrees. Red wine is made from a single raw material, which is grapes.

Foreign liquor is generally highly distilled liquor.

Foreign liquor refers to highly distilled liquors such as brandy, whiskey, vodka, and rum, with an alcohol content of more than 40 degrees. Foreign liquors are made from a wide range of ingredients, including grapes, grains, potatoes, etc.

Why are domestic wines slightly inferior?

It is undeniable that the quality of most domestically produced wines is inferior to that of foreign wines. On the one hand, it is because the development history of China is still short, with a history of 10 to 20 years, which is far behind that of New World wines such as the United States and California. On the other hand, China's laws and regulations on winemaking and market operation are still very imperfect, and often plagiarism is more important than quality. In foreign wine-producing countries, a series of strict laws guarantee the standardization of everything from grape planting and brewing to wine bottle identification and naming. Therefore, to drink good wine, from my personal perspective, it is better to try more "foreign" wines. Don't be scared by the strange names on the bottles. The purpose of creating this website is to tear off the mysterious veil of "foreign" wines, so that more Chinese people can enjoy the deliciousness of wine and taste the petty bourgeoisie life.
