Wine is not only an excellent addition to the festive table, but also in small quantities is good for the body. Only natural wine is useful. A drink made from powder is not only not beneficial, but it can also harm your health. Probably, only an experienced taster will be able to accurately distinguish natural wine from a fake. But there are still a few things that can help you more confidently assume that you are buying real wine, and not some kind of substitute.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the price. Too low a cost may indicate that this is a fake. In order to produce a bottle of wine, you need to spend money on wine material (grapes), on its processing, on further bottling of wine, storage and transportation, etc. That is, the final price of a bottle cannot be low. If it is cheap, it is most likely powder-made.
Step 2
Color, smell, taste should not be too pronounced and harsh. Bright colors, strong smell are signs that there are foreign impurities and additives in the wine. Or it is made from low-quality wine material. Semi-sweet, dessert, strong wines are most often counterfeited. But dry ones are more often natural, since it is difficult and unprofitable to fake them.
Step 3
You can check the naturalness of the wine as follows. Fill a glass with water and pour a drink into a flask or bottle. Firmly pinch the neck of the bubble with your finger, turn it upside down and immerse the vessel in water. When he is completely under water, remove your finger. If the wine mixes with water, then this is a fake. This drink contains a lot of dyes, sweeteners and other substances. Natural wine is lighter than water, so there will be no mixing.
Step 4
Put some glycerin in the wine. If the drink is natural, then the glycerin will sink to the bottom of the glass and remain transparent. If you have a fake in front of you, then it will turn reddish and yellow.
Step 5
Look for packaging when buying. If there is no indication on it that the wine is natural, then you should not take such a drink. In addition, on the bottle with natural wine, the harvest year must be indicated (up to one and a half years - aged, up to three years - vintage). Don't buy boxed wines. Such wines are most often counterfeited, since the use of glass containers significantly increases the cost of wine, i.e. it is not profitable for producers to use bottles. And it is best to buy wines in special wine shops and boutiques, where the risk of buying a fake is less, and special conditions are created there for storing this wonderful drink.
