Can wine make you drunk

Chinese liquor is mainly brewed from ingredients such as barley and sorghum, and has a relatively high alcohol content. Unlike Chinese liquor, wine from Western countries has a relatively low alcohol content, and long-term use can calm the mind, whiten the skin and has the effect of making it more suitable for women to drink. But wine is alcohol after all. Even if its alcohol content is low, it still has a certain amount of alcohol. So will drinking wine make you drunk?

Does wine go bad?

The answer is yes. There is a saying: "Wine is a living liquid." Before a bottle of wine reaches the hands of consumers, it will be affected by various factors, thus facing a problem that cannot be completely avoided - wine spoilage.

Determination of wine spoilage:

a. Check whether the wine is oxidized. Like metal, wine is susceptible to oxidation when there is too much oxygen. If you smell a very pungent vinegar-like odor and the taste changes from fresh to dry and bitter, then you can tell that the wine has been oxidized. Generally speaking, white wine is more susceptible to oxidation than red wine because the high tannins in red wine can slow down the oxidation process.

b. Check whether the wine has corky odor. If you smell a hint of mushroom and moldy cardboard, you can bet that the wine is corked. Then, taste it. If it still tastes the same and has a strong sense of dryness, then you can be sure of the presence of cork taste.

c. Smell the wine for sulfide notes. If a wine has too much sulfide, it can smell like matchsticks or rotten eggs. Sulfide flavors in wine can be caused by improper storage or by adding too much sulfur dioxide during the bottling process.

d. Identify whether the wine has a cooked taste. If a wine is stored in a warm or hot environment, such as in an attic, in the trunk of a car or next to a stove, it will develop a cooked flavor. When a wine with a cooked flavor is poured, it will be brown in color and smell like caramel.
