The most powerful god in the city

The steps involved in making fine wine are tedious, and Zhongjing strives for perfection.

In addition to the first two steps, there are several steps to complete the production of the wine.

The third step is fermentation and maceration, during which the sugars in the grape juice are converted into alcohol, and there is a layer of natural yeast on the grape skins, and the fermentation process takes about a week. However, special attention should be paid to the fermentation process, because a lot of heat will be generated during the fermentation process, and if the temperature is too high, it will cause the yeast to lose its activity and stop fermentation, so controlling the temperature must be strictly controlled during the fermentation process.

After fermentation, the juice and skins are thoroughly mixed, a stage that takes five weeks, depending on the style of the tannins in the wine produced, during which the tannins and other flavours and pigments in the skins are released into the must. At this point, Zhou Ye can also be controlled with spells to make it perfectly fused.

The fourth step, slag removal and juice extraction, when the winemaker thinks that the wine tannins have reached the optimum, the juice will flow out automatically from the bottom of the fermenter, called "natural juice", and then juice its residue to obtain "pressed grape juice", the pressed grape juice is darker in color, the tannin acid content is higher, but not delicate enough, depending on the style of the wine, it can be blended with other wines, or maintain the original taste, the process of transferring the wine from one tank to another clean tank is the process of removing the slag.

However, Zhou Ye did not have a special fermentation tank, but he had the money, so he directly customized the best and most complete fermentation tank in the system.

Almost perfect fermentation is possible.

The fifth step, filtration and purification, uses a strainer to remove the grape pomace and impurities generated during the fermentation process. The use of a purification device removes the substances that cause the wine to become cloudy and produce off-flavors. In order to obtain a clear and stable wine, many wines are purified. However, many traditional brewers oppose this, arguing that the purification process destroys the richness of the taste and makes the flavor run away. But this is not a problem for Zhou Ye, he can separate the grape pomace and impurities without destroying the taste, and keep the best of them.

The sixth step, aging, is the process of aging the wine in barrels before it is bottled. Some wines are aged in wooden barrels, while some wines that are drunk in the current year, or for everyday wines with large yields, they are generally aged in stainless steel tanks. As the wine ages, it develops a rich aroma and taste. At the same time, impurities in the wine are deposited at the bottom of the barrel, which is removed for a clearer wine. This process is very important and facilitates the aging process that continues in the bottle after the wine has been bottled.

The seventh step is blending, and after the wine is matured, the winemaker can blend several different wines into a new wine according to his needs. For example, wines made from grapes grown in different vineyards (with different flavors) can be blended together, or wines grown in the same vineyard but made using different techniques (e.g., fermented in tanks and barrels). Sometimes, hundreds of different wines are blended to create a fresh and unique wine.

The eighth step, bottling, is to put the wine into the final container, and after the bottle is in the bottle, the mouth of the bottle is sealed to prevent oxidation. One of the biggest controversies in the wine industry today is the question of sealing, which is better than the traditional cork and the new bottle closure?

The new threaded caps do not deteriorate like cork, so the quality of the wine is not adversely affected by the sealing material. Winemakers and distributors take the damage caused by wine spoilage, as well as the negative effects on brand reputation. This is why the new threaded caps are important because they can ensure that the wine they buy is in good condition, and the number of consumers who are accepting the new threaded caps is increasing, but traditional wineries still choose to use cork seals. It is hoped that more winemakers will recognize this new type of sealing.

Zhou Ye didn't ask for so much, he planned to seal it with a cork.

After Zhou Ye finished a series of work, it was called tired, and it was not finished yet, after all, he still had to wait for fermentation.

Although he is the master of space, he still has a lot of things to do, after all, he is alone, and some things are too busy to be busy.

The "Lu Yu Tea Tree" matured again, but Zhou Ye didn't know anything about tea, and he didn't know how to pick tea, so he kept letting Lu Yu take care of it.

A special person picked up the fallen tea leaves and handed them to Lu Yu.

Then Lu Yu made ancient tea.

These ancient teas are very precious, and Zhou Ye is not only drinking them himself, but also giving them away.

Give it to your elders.

For example, No. 1, No. 2, and Liu Lao and others.

Zhou Ye has been staying in the space, reading medical books, practicing calligraphy, carving, practicing martial arts, communicating with animals, traveling in the mountains and rivers, very leisurely, and he is reluctant to go out.
