Selection and precautions for medicinal wine

1. Selection of wine

(1) It must be pure grain wine. The choice of wine is the most critical step in making medicinal wine. As we all know, according to recent media reports, more than 70% of the liquor on the market is made from edible alcohol + spices + sodium cyclamate + water. The proportion of mid- and low-end liquors is over 95%. Many of them are labeled as pure grain wine, but they are actually made from edible alcohol. The biggest difference between the two types of wine is that pure grain wine is made from natural fermentation. , contains a variety of natural substances that are beneficial to the human body, and these naturally formed substances will react with medicinal materials, so that they will produce magical health and medical effects. However, alcohol-blended wines are not good for the human body because of the addition of some additives, and will affect the efficacy of medicinal materials. Therefore, it is very important to choose wine for soaking. If you accidentally choose alcohol-blended wine as wine, even the best medicinal materials will be wasted, or even have a counterproductive effect. Therefore, pure grain wine must be used for soaking medicinal wine. Good medicinal materials should be paired with pure and real pure grain wine to achieve the maximum effect of medicinal wine. This kind of pure grain wine without additives is not easy to find in the market. Here, the author recommends a Gu Yangkang pure grain wine that I have been using. Only wine brewed from real pure grains can achieve the maximum effect of medicinal wine.

(2) Alcohol content: It is best to use high-quality pure grain liquor with an alcohol content of 50-60% for preparing medicinal liquor. From the analysis of Chinese medicinal materials, whether Chinese herbal medicine or animal medicinal materials, they all contain water and more or less bacteria and germs, and only slightly higher alcohol content can kill bacteria and germs. In addition, the exudation of water from medicinal materials will dilute the alcohol content, so it is appropriate to choose liquor with a higher alcohol content. Low alcohol content is not conducive to the dissolution of effective ingredients in Chinese medicinal materials, thereby affecting the treatment and health care effects. Finally, from the perspective of quality preservation, low-alcohol liquor, coupled with the dilution of medicinal materials, has too high a water content and is not conducive to long-term storage. In addition, as the wine is stored over time, its alcohol content will also decrease. Therefore, it is better to choose 50-60% alcohol for soaking.

(3) It is not easy to choose wine packaged in plastic barrels: There are many wines packaged in PET plastic barrels on the market, which are actually very bad. You must choose ceramic or glass bottles to package wine. Remember not to use PET plastic barrels. Although PET plastic is very safe to store water, it is corrosive to wine, especially for strong liquor. If it comes into contact with plastic barrels for a long time, some harmful components of plastic will easily be integrated into the wine. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is best not to choose to use plastic barrels to soak wine.

2. Choice of container for medicinal wine

The vessel for soaking medicinal wine must be a pottery or glass vessel. If conditions permit, it is best to choose a pottery jar. Pottery jars are more suitable for storing wine than glass. We use earthenware to brew Chinese medicine and store wine in ancient times. It can accelerate the aging of wine. Plastic and metal vessels cannot be used. Plastic and metal are prone to toxic substances escaping or toxic reactions. Glass and ceramics will not produce the above situation. This is another important reason why I recommend Gu Yangkang Pure Grain Wine to everyone. If the amount of soaking is not large, you can directly add the medicinal materials into the pottery jar. If the amount of soaking is large, you can go to the agricultural and trade market to buy a large soaking jar.

1. Prepare materials

100g dried velvet antler slices, 300g Ningxia wolfberry, a 10-15kg wine jar, high-proof grain wine (about 50-60 degrees, 10-15kg depending on the size of the wine jar)

2. Preliminary preparation

Clean the dried antler slices, wolfberry, and wine altar separately.

3. Start operation

Put 100g of antler slices and wolfberry into the wine jar, then add the grain wine. After everything is put in, cover the wine jar.

Be sure to seal the lid tightly to prevent the smell of alcohol from escaping. After use, store it in a cool and dry place and store it for 1 month before consumption.

4. How to take

Take one or two ounces at a time. When pouring the wine, shake the wine altar and pour out one or two ounces before drinking.

After you have finished drinking all the wine in the altar, you can add more. After repeating this process 3-5 times, you can just throw away the remaining wine.

5. A few points of attention: Pay attention to the dosage of deer antler and wolfberry wine.

Be careful where the wine jar is stored and keep it out of reach of children. People with high blood pressure should not drink alcohol.
