用于葡萄酒釀造的木質(zhì)酒樽和不銹鋼酒桶存在哪些差異呢?此外在葡萄酒釀造的過程中又起到什么作用呢?
What are the differences between wooden wine bottles and stainless steel barrels used for wine brewing? In addition, what role does it play in the process of wine brewing?
1、分別利用各自特性

What are the differences between wooden wine bottles and stainless steel barrels used for wine brewing?
二者在氣密性和溫度控制上存在較大的差異。僅使用果汁釀造而成的白葡萄酒,為了保留其香味特征,通常在不銹鋼酒桶中進行釀制。由于不銹鋼酒桶易于溫度控制,紅葡萄酒也多使用不銹鋼酒桶而倘若想要賦予葡萄酒特有的木質(zhì)香味時,則使用木質(zhì)酒樽。
There are great differences between them in air tightness and temperature control. White wine brewed only with fruit juice is usually brewed in stainless steel barrels in order to retain its aroma characteristics. Because the stainless steel barrel is easy to control the temperature, the stainless steel barrel is often used for red wine. If you want to give the unique wooden flavor to the wine, use the wooden bottle.
無論哪一種方式,為了讓發(fā)酵后的酒更加圓潤的熟成,木質(zhì)酒樽和不銹鋼酒桶皆是葡萄酒悠閑歇息的場所。
Either way, in order to make the fermented wine more mellow and mature, wooden wine bottles and stainless steel wine barrels are places for wine to relax.
2新樽和舊樽
2 new bottles and old bottles
被使用一次以上的酒樽稱為舊樽。由于酒樽香味成分的提取情況要比新樽少,所以在不需要賦予葡萄酒酒樽香氣,或者需要賦予其沉穩(wěn)的酒樽香氣時,多使用舊樽。新樽的香氣易于浸透,在葡萄酒本身質(zhì)量不佳的情況下,只能形成具有木樽味道的葡萄酒。根據(jù)葡萄品種和意向香味特性,可以調(diào)整比例和酒樽熟成時間。
A wine bottle that is used more than once is called an old bottle. Because the extraction of aroma components in wine bottles is less than that in new bottles, when it is not necessary to give wine bottle aroma or give it steady bottle aroma, use old bottles more. The aroma of the new bottle is easy to soak. When the quality of the wine itself is poor, it can only form a wine with the taste of wooden bottle. According to grape varieties and intended aroma characteristics, the proportion and bottle ripening time can be adjusted.
3、法國橡木酒樽和美國橡木酒樽
3. French oak bottle and American oak bottle
酒樽的原料是橡木,法國出產(chǎn)的橡木木紋細膩,能賦予葡萄酒優(yōu)良的香草氣息,同時增加其復(fù)雜性。
The raw material of the wine bottle is oak. The oak produced in France has fine wood grain, which can give the wine excellent vanilla flavor and increase its complexity.
而另一方面,美國橡木賦予了葡萄酒椰子和牛奶糖果般甘甜香氣,同時香草的香氣也強烈濃厚。
On the other hand, American oak gives wine a sweet aroma like coconut and milk candy, and the aroma of vanilla is also strong.
4、烤制的香味特性
4. Aroma characteristics of roasted
在釀造酒樽之時會用火對酒樽內(nèi)側(cè)進行烤制。根據(jù)烤制程度,葡萄酒的香味特性便會發(fā)生變化??局瞥潭确譃檎垺⒅?、重三個階段。一旦烤制程度重,那么葡萄酒便會出現(xiàn)咖啡或熏制般的香氣。
When brewing wine bottles, the inside of the wine bottles will be baked with fire. According to the degree of baking, the aroma characteristics of wine will change. The baking degree is divided into three stages: please, medium and heavy. Once roasted, the wine will have a coffee or smoked aroma.
