Ancient people like to drink a cup, so what is the origin of wine?

According to Shennong Materia Medica, wine originated in ancient times and Shennong era. Chen Qirong of Eight Kinds of World Books (revised edition) said: "When Yidi started, the wine mash became five flavors, and Shao Kang (Kang) made wine." Yi Di and Shao Kang are both Xia people. That is, there was wine in the Xia Dynasty. I think this wine is probably made of fruits and flowers, not grains. Cereal wine should start after the agricultural boom. Lu Zuofan's book "Occasional Stories in Western Guangdong" has the following records: (Guangxi) There are many apes in the mountains of Pingle and other provinces, and they are good at picking flowers and making wine. The woodcutter gets his nest in the mountains, and his wine is like stones, and the smell of drinking is abnormal, so it is called ape wine.

Step 2 introduce

The chemical composition of liquor is ethanol, which generally contains a small amount of fusel alcohols and esters. The concentration of edible liquor is generally below 60 degrees (that is, 60%) (a few are above 60 degrees). After fractionation, liquor is purified to be more than 75% medical alcohol and more than 99.5% anhydrous alcohol. Wine is made from fermented grains. China was the first country to make wine. Brewing technology was invented as early as 2000, and it has been continuously improved. At present, it has developed to produce beverages and alcoholic beverages with various concentrations and tastes, and extracted medical alcohol with a concentration of over 95% and anhydrous alcohol with a concentration of 99.99% for industrial, medical and scientific experiments. Due to the prevalence of alcohol, the crime rate has risen sharply. Drinking makes people easily paralyzed, unconscious and irrational.

Step 3 use

Edible wine is a health beverage, which can promote blood circulation, dredge collaterals, dispel wind and remove dampness. Medical alcohol is used for wound disinfection, edible alcohol is used for preparing oral drugs, and anhydrous alcohol is used for chemical reagents, chemical analysis and scientific experiments. Industrial alcohol is used as fuel and chemical raw materials to produce various chemical products.
