Due to the unsophisticated craftsmanship, the content of fusel alcohol in alcoholic liquor is very high.

3. How to distinguish alcoholic wine from grain wine

1. Hand-rub liquor method

It’s very simple. Just pour a few drops of white wine on the palm of your hand, then rub your hands together. After rubbing them back and forth a few times, you will feel a slight warmth in your palms. Smell the palm of your hand at this time. Pure grain wine has a fresh fragrance, which is the smell of grain brewing, and it stays for a long time. The taste of alcoholic wine is pungent, like the smell of essence. It tastes very strange and stays for a short time, disappearing after a while.

2. Empty cup smelling method

This method is also related to the aroma of wine. After drinking the wine, leave the glass unwashed and then smell it. If it is alcoholic wine, the taste will disappear quickly, but for grain wine, the taste will be retained for a long time. Moreover, for some high-quality pure grain wines, the aroma will be retained longer than that of ordinary grain wines.
