How long can plum wine be preserved?
If the bottle is not opened, the longer the better.
If you open a bottle, ethanol evaporates easily, so it will soon have no smell of alcohol. It also lost its due effect.
Plum wine is a kind of health wine made from plums, which has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting fluid production and regulating stomach, stopping dysentery and diarrhea, astringing lung and astringing intestines, and relieving pain and vomiting. Can be used for treating dysentery, enteritis and diarrhea, anorexia in summer, abdominal pain and vomiting. It can also promote gallbladder contraction and treat chronic dyspepsia and biliary ascariasis. When making, clean fresh plums, put them in a wine bottle with almonds, and soak them in a sealed way for 30 days. Usage and dosage are 1 cup, twice a day. Pharmacological experiments show that this wine has antibacterial, antiallergic and bile excretion promoting effects, but the taste of plums is extremely sour, and it is easy to hurt teeth if eaten too much. Those with hyperacidity are not suitable for eating, and those with exogenous cough, damp-heat diarrhea and other pathogens are not suitable for using.
The practice of plum wine
1, Plum: To choose green and hard plums, it is best to choose wild and pollution-free plums to ensure health. The wild chrysanthemums in Chebaling National Nature Reserve are the best in Guangdong. Plums are too ripe to make plum wine.
2. The white wine used for soaking green plums should be above 38-50 degrees. The alcohol concentration is greatly reduced when the liquor with the alcohol content above 50℃ is mixed with preserved plum (1: 1), which is just suitable for women to drink. Too low a temperature is easy to break.
3. Wine container: Because organic substances such as plastics can be dissolved in alcohol, wine containers must be made of inorganic materials, such as glass jars, which are convenient to take and sprinkle and have good sealing performance.
4, rock sugar: it is best to be yellow rock sugar. Be sure not to use small square rock candy, which contains plasticizer and affects the taste.
Brief introduction of plum wine
Plum wine has a long history and profound cultural connotation. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, during the five years of Jian 'an, Liu Bei "learned from the scriptures, thinking it was a plan to hide his strength and bide his time", and Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to talk about heroes in the world by cooking wine in his childhood, so the story of plum wine and its "talking about heroes by cooking wine in his childhood" can be found in history books.
Mei wine is not a new category. In Yunnan, Guangdong, Fujian and other places in China, self-made plum wine has a long history, and Japan and South Korea also have the habit of drinking plum wine. The production technology of plum wine is mainly divided into two schools:
One is plum wine, represented by Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, where fresh plum fruits are soaked in rice wine or yellow wine. Some Japanese and Korean Mei Shengping also belong to this type.
The other is the green plum wine fermented by the accumulation of green plum fruits. Due to the backward production equipment and filtration equipment, the green plum wine produced by this process has a unique taste, but it is not easy to preserve and solve the precipitation problem.
