I want to know something about Luzhou wine.
Luzhou is rich in rice, wheat, waxy sorghum, sweet spring water and other food crops, which provides unique natural conditions for the development of liquor industry. After years of tempering, the brewing technology of Luzhou liquor has reached the level of perfection. Especially as the birthplace of China Luzhou-flavor liquor, LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Pool has been approved by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit, with a long history of 400 years and the reputation of "the first cellar in China". Judging from the cultural relics unearthed in Luzhou, the history of Luzhou liquor can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties, which can be proved by the pottery horn wine glasses unearthed in Luzhou, the pottery drinking servants in Han Dynasty and the witchcraft prayer pictures on the sarcophagus in Han Dynasty.

Luzhou in Song Dynasty is famous for its rich glutinous rice, sorghum and corn, and its brewing materials are very rich. According to the food records in History of Song Dynasty, there were also "big wine" and "small wine" in Song Dynasty. The so-called "small wine" refers to "rice wine from spring to autumn", that is, instant drinking. This kind of wine, brewed that year, does not need (or is inconvenient) to store. Because of the differences in the quality of grain raw materials, the quality of koji and the technical level, brewing time and temperature of brewers, there are dozens of grades in price. The so-called "big wine" is a kind of distilled wine. According to the records in the History of Wine, it can be known that Dajiu was baked from laked sorghum distiller's grains after the twelfth lunar month and the distillation process. Moreover, after "brewing" and "steaming", liquor will be stored for half a year, and it can only be sold after natural aging, which is called "summer outing" in history.

This kind of "Dajiu" made by steaming, storing and alcoholizing Daqu has reached the height of co-brewing and harmonious symbiosis with Luzhou-flavor Daqu in raw material selection, technological operation, fermentation mode and liquor quality, so LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Co., Ltd. produced in Luzhou is called "the originator of Luzhou-flavor".

Nowadays, Luzhou enjoys the reputation of "Wine City" for producing LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD shares, Guojiao 1573 and Gulinlang wine, and it is the only region in China with two famous wines. As one of the most important liquor production bases in China, Luzhou has maintained an annual output of 654.38+10,000 tons of liquor since 2000. Brewing industry is an important pillar industry in Luzhou City.
