What is wine aging? How do you know it's aged wine

The aging of wine is a re-brewing process corresponding to fermentation, which is generally carried out in oak barrels, and some are also carried out in stainless steel or concrete tanks. After the wine has undergone the previous main fermentation and maceration and stirring, there is also a post-fermentation with lactic acid added. It is only after this step that the aging is carried out. Aging periods range from a few weeks to more than two years.

1. Look at the price. Wines aged in oak barrels are generally expensive. Because oak itself is a rare forest tree, the cost of oak barrels is high and the frequency of replacement is high, so the cost per bottle of wine is also high. Therefore, don't expect a bottle of wine worth tens of yuan to be wine aged in oak barrels.

2. Smell the aroma. The aroma of the wine aged in oak barrels is not the naked oak flavor, but the round and full tannin flavor that combines a variety of aromas. Many people have tasted rosin, resin, caramel, vanilla, etc. in wine aged in oak barrels. The aromas brought by oak barrels with different toasting degrees are different, which requires continuous wine tasting to accumulate experience. When you are not sure, you can consult a senior wine tasting expert for identification.

3. Taste the taste. Wines aged in oak barrels are more layered, with a round, full-bodied and delicate structure. If you smell the aroma of oak, but you find that the tannin is separated from the wine body when you taste it, and the tannin is particularly abrupt, it may be that oak powder or oak chips have been added instead of real oak barrel aging.
