《漢語大詞典》,對(duì)于酒海的定義是:一種大型的盛酒容器,因盛酒量多,故稱“海”。
"Chinese Dictionary", for the definition of wine sea is: a large wine container, because of the amount of wine, so called "sea".
古時(shí)候,人們往往把一種容量很大的酒器稱為“酒海”,唐代詩人白居易《就花枝》詩曰:“就花枝,移酒海,今朝不醉明朝悔。”溫庭筠《乾簨子·裴宏泰》說,裴鈞“有銀海,受一斗以上,以手捧而飲”,所謂銀海,就是銀質(zhì)酒海;因此酒量很大的人,也常被稱之為“海量”。
In ancient times, people often called a kind of wine vessel with large capacity "wine sea". Bai Juyi, a poet of Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "just flower branches", which said: "just flower branches, move wine sea, not drunk now, regret in Ming Dynasty." According to Wen Tingyun's Qian Zhen Zi Pei Hong Tai, Pei Jun "has a sea of silver, which he can drink with his hands after receiving more than one fight". The so-called sea of silver is a sea of silver wine; Therefore, people who drink a lot are often called "magnanimity".
大凡嗜酒如命者,常常企盼著有一個(gè)酒海,使自己沉入酒海中,或者泛舟海上,時(shí)時(shí)暢飲,這件“醉鄉(xiāng)酒海”經(jīng)瓶中的“酒海”,就是作器者對(duì)酒的一種企盼和奢望吧!《水滸傳》第八二回:“﹝ 宿太尉 ﹞叫開御酒,取過銀酒海,都傾在里面。”《冷眼觀》第二四回:“就叫人往上房里去取了一棹十個(gè)白玉雕成的酒海來,每只當(dāng)中都雕鏤一個(gè)小玉和尚坐著。”
Most people who are addicted to alcohol often look forward to a sea of wine to sink themselves into, or go boating on the sea to drink from time to time. The "sea of wine" in the bottle of this "sea of drunken wine" is a kind of expectation and extravagance of the maker of wine《 Chapter 82 of outlaws of the Marsh: "Su Taiwei is called Kaiyu wine. He took silver wine sea and poured it in."《 The second and fourth chapter of cold eye view: "I asked someone to go to the upper room and get a sea of wine carved from ten white jade, each of which is carved with a little jade monk sitting."
酒海,有著近千年的歷史。它是用產(chǎn)自秦嶺山脈中的荊條編成的大簍,內(nèi)壁以血料、石灰等作為粘合劑糊以上百層麻茍紙和白棉布,后用蛋清、蜂蠟、熟菜子油等以一定比例涂擦、晾干而成,每個(gè)可儲(chǔ)酒5到6噸,這種閃耀著先民們勤勞智慧的貯酒容器,稱為“大酒海”。特殊的制作工藝,使酒海呈現(xiàn)出一個(gè)神奇的現(xiàn)象:“裝酒滴酒不漏,裝水揮失殆盡”。酒海存量大,酒耗小,又利于酒的熟化,適于長(zhǎng)期貯存,是世界釀酒行業(yè)傳統(tǒng)儲(chǔ)存單體的容器。
Wine sea has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is a large basket made of wattles from the Qinling Mountains. The inner wall of the basket is made of blood material, lime, etc. as a binder, which is pasted with 100 layers of hemp paper and white cotton cloth, and then wiped and dried with egg white, beeswax, cooked vegetable oil, etc. in a certain proportion. Each can store 5 to 6 tons of wine. This kind of wine storage container shining with the diligence and wisdom of our ancestors is called "big wine sea". The special production technology makes the sea of wine present a magical phenomenon: "the wine does not leak, and the water is lost.". It is suitable for long-term storage. It is the largest container of traditional storage monomer in the world brewing industry.
原漿酒在“酒海”中陳化的過程也是其自身運(yùn)動(dòng)、自然老熟的過程。由于“酒海”制作材料及工藝的特殊性,在白酒貯存中發(fā)生的普通氧化還原反應(yīng)、分子締合反應(yīng)、酯化反應(yīng)等過程中,維持了獨(dú)特的酸堿平衡,促進(jìn)了乙醇和水分子的緊密結(jié)合;從“酒海”溶解到酒中的獨(dú)特香味及營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分使白酒辛辣味大大減少,口感綿甜凈爽,回味悠長(zhǎng)。
The aging process of puree wine in "wine sea" is also the process of its own movement and natural aging. Because of the particularity of the materials and techniques in the production of Baijiu, the common acid redox reaction, the molecular association reaction and the esterification reaction in the liquor storage have maintained the unique acid-base balance and promoted the close combination of ethanol and water molecules. The unique flavor and nutritional components dissolved from wine sea to wine greatly reduce the spicy flavor of the Baijiu, and the taste is sweet and refreshing, and the flavour is long.
而且“酒海”越老,貯存時(shí)間越長(zhǎng),品質(zhì)越佳。
Moreover, the older the "wine sea" is, the longer the storage time is, and the better the quality is.
正是因?yàn)殛P(guān)中酒采用的“酒海”儲(chǔ)存方式,特殊的制作方法造就了酒海“會(huì)呼吸”的神奇。通過呼吸,酒海中的酒完成了去陳除雜、熟化增香的復(fù)雜過程,促進(jìn)了酒的老熟,也確保了關(guān)中酒醇厚豐滿,香味協(xié)調(diào),綿甜爽凈,回味悠長(zhǎng)。
It is precisely because Guanzhong liquor adopts a unique "wine sea" storage method, and the special production method creates the magic of "wine sea can breathe". Through breathing, the wine in the sea of wine completed the complex process of de aging and impurity removal, aging and aroma enhancement, which promoted the aging of the wine, and also ensured that the Guanzhong wine was mellow, full-bodied, coordinated, soft, sweet and clean, with a long aftertaste.
