Chapter 180: [An instant hit](1/2)
,!
Since it is a winery, there are no vineyards next to it. What's going on?
Xu Ning also knew there was no way to explain it. Could it be that the vineyard was not here at all?
People may say, OK, take us over and take a look, Xu Ning should sit on wax by then.
So I'd better say nothing, at least there is no shortage of fresh grapes. You don't need to look at the vines, you just need to sit down and gather together to taste the fresh grapes.
Of course, they didn't say anything, it's okay to have grapes. After all, the essence of a whole vine must be gathered in the grapes in the end, so you can know whether it's good or not.
More than a dozen kinds of grapes in front of me were placed in a clean fruit plate, and the sizes looked almost no different. Moreover, the color of the grapes was very pure, and the fruits were so beautiful that they seemed to penetrate the sun. Of course, this is because the color of the peel is very beautiful, and penetration is just a visual effect.
The wine tasting is scheduled the night after tomorrow. In the past two days, the Victors and his wife took these wine tastings to stroll around the manor, check out the winery's cellar, or the surrounding scenery, and visit the scenic spots and historical sites in the imperial capital.
Qin Xuejuan also received a lot of calls from 6 people asking about the tasting party. She said that the current wine is only the first batch, and many things have not been finalized and will not be opened to the public. Perhaps if the next batch of red wine is out of the cellar, a large-scale wine tasting party will be held.
When the bosses heard this, they could only regretfully hang up the phone. Since they called, they must be very interested in red wine.
However, they are still very confidential now. Whether it is good or bad, you can know by watching international news at that time. Please pay more attention.
At the cocktail party, everyone sat gracefully at the dining table, and the table was a side dish specially made by the chef according to today's wine.
The side dishes are no surprises. This is a classic combination of later generations. The chef also uses the fruits in Xuning's space to make salads. Of course, there are vegetables in it. They are served in transparent glass nights. The combination of various colors is very beautiful, which makes people feel enjoyable.
There are no decorative flowers on the French dining table. After all, while tasting wine, there are other fragrances around you, which will inevitably make the taste illusion and will also affect the appreciation of wine.
Victor stood up and briefly introduced the red wine, then opened a bottle of wine and poured it on everyone. Xu Ning got a glass again. Of course, she was also a "insider" to savor it this time.
Well, at most, I have a little experience, and it is really incomparable to these big guys in front of me.
Everyone was holding red wine and looking at the liquid inside, then put it under their noses and sniffed it. After a while, they tasted it.
During this period, the dining table was very quiet and there was almost no sound. It was not until everyone took a sip of wine that they slowly reacted.
"Oh, God, this is really a dream wine." The person who spoke was a relatively young wine taster, but he was nearly forty even when he was young.
His expression at this time seemed pretty good to Xu Ning. Perhaps he had never met foreigners and would think that their expressions were exaggerated. But after all, Xu Ning had been studying abroad for three years, so he still had this ability to accept it.
"Very great." A golden woman wine tasting praised, "It's the best I've tasted at the moment."
After everyone tasted it, they expressed their opinions, some were admiring and some were silent. Mr. Bernard, the world-class wine tasting that Mrs. Victor introduced to her, did not speak, but looked at the red liquid in the wine glass while pursing his lips slightly.
Xu Ning was a little nervous. Could it be that this red wine did not satisfy him?
It was not that it was impossible to satisfy Bernard, he was also very shocked at this moment.
When he tasted grapes before, he was full of expectations for this wine. The wine made of such excellent grapes is absolutely of extraordinary quality.
But now after tasting this wine, Bernard showed that his imagination seemed a bit lacking, which was not enough to describe the beauty of this wine. As expected, what the taster at the beginning said was indeed a fantastic red wine.
This feeling is very clever, just like his life itself is incomplete. He has been looking to fill this void before, but now he is suddenly replenished.
Everyone's eyes also fell on Bernard. After all, he is very authoritative in this industry. The evaluations he gave since he became famous have always been accurate rather than fair. Therefore, as long as the red wine with the word "good" by Bernard, the price has always been extremely high, and it can also cause a sensation in the red wine field all over the world, especially those red wine collectors are even more eager to order.
In line with Bernard's identity, any red wine collected has never disappointed the collectors.
After about ten minutes, Bernard looked at Xu Ning and smiled and said, "It's great."
"oh……"
The others were shocked when they heard this.
This red wine can indeed be said to be a fantasy, but Bernard has always been very rigorous. Sometimes they think it is already very good, but Bernard always feels that something is lacking.
Since he was judged by the Red Wine Association for 16 consecutive years, this is his strength, and his qualities and wine tasting skills are worthy of respect for people in the same industry.
Now that this top master has made such a high evaluation, this wine is really great.
After that, Bernard communicated with the people present carefully about this red wine. He said it in detail. Everyone nodded repeatedly when they heard it. Even Xu Ning, who was less than half a bucket of water, suddenly realized it, as if he had suddenly become enlightened.
Finally, while savoring the delicious steak, Bernard slowly drank red wine with everyone. After drinking it, he tasted the dry white, and its quality still shocked everyone.
"According to my opinion, this wine is indeed as dreamy red wine as Adam said, and it is the king level of today's red wine." After lunch, Bernard sat in the luxurious and sophisticated living room and chatted. "This wine is obviously extremely noble, but the drink period is very strong. According to my estimate, if it is perfectly preserved, it can last for sixty years. It is rare to have been in the drink period from the moment of bottling. And I can be sure that the soil for cultivating grapes must be extremely fine, otherwise such excellent grapes cannot be nurtured, and such perfect wine cannot be made. I cannot know whether the wine will appear in the future, but I have been in this industry for more than thirty years. She is well-deserved first. According to the rating standards of our wine association, I give this wine a hundred points."
The Victors were immediately excited. The full score evaluation has never appeared in the history of red wine. The highest rated French brand of Roche wine. A few years ago, Mr. Bernard only gave the other party 98:50, which is already very high.
The other tasters also gave full marks, and they were very satisfied with this wine at the beginning.
The happiest thing is Victor. He couldn't believe that he could actually brew full-score red wine in his lifetime. Even Bernard claimed that it was a dream red wine, and this evaluation was really high.
With their words, and if you want to promote them after you go back, their red wine value will inevitably increase exponentially.
Red wine will hardly appear on the dining tables of ordinary people. The consumption of the above society is the mainstream, so its prices will naturally rise.
If you buy a red wine of the same quality, I will sell it for 10,000 yuan. Don’t doubt life. It is definitely a huge fortune I can make.
Sometimes the price not only reflects the quality of the wine, but also the value and face of those buyers.
They are all well-known figures. Do you let them drink 100 yuan red wine on the dining table? Don’t joke, even if the quality is the same, they would rather buy 10,000 yuan.
Of course, not everyone has this kind of prodigal mentality, it is also a kind of value, although this value is a bit unappreciated.
"Sixty thousand dollars, can I order a box?" Bernard said.
Xu Ning's heart almost jumped out, 30,000 US dollars? Now the conversion to US dollars is more than 8 yuan, which is 240,000 yuan per box. The average bottle of wine is more than 20,000 yuan. Is it true? Are the big guys so spendthing?
They have a thousand boxes here, but they can get 24 million directly.
Oh my god, is this red wine so profitable?
In fact, Xu Ning underestimated this red wine. This is just the current market. In a few years, the price of red wine will inevitably become more in the hands of the world's billionaires. Especially the top red wine, which is definitely in short supply.
So what they do now is definitely not just mass sales, twenty hunger marketing, how many boxes of fixed production every year.
Now, 20,000 yuan per bottle, in another ten years, maybe 100,000 yuan per bottle of wine or even higher.
In fact, it is easy to understand if you think about it carefully. When Xu Ning worked in a hotel, the owner of their hotel liked to stock up on Maotai. After all, Maotai is limited in every year. Once, Xiao Zhong's father's father's birthday, she wanted to buy a bottle of Maotai for his father to celebrate his birthday on the official website. However, the Moutai liquor on the official website was almost out of stock. In the end, he had to rub it with the hotel owner for two or three times before the other party was willing to take out a bottle. Of course, the price was also given to Xiao Zhong according to the purchase price. In general, the hotel owner in her previous life was quite good to her employees.
Of course, it is really not ruthless to kill tourists. Although the food in the hotel is not expensive at a sky-high price, it is still not cheap. Fortunately, the taste is pretty good and there are almost no complaints.
The price given by Bernard is already very high in the current market, and he has a good attitude, so he does not have a noble attitude just because he is a world-class wine tasting.
Victor looked at Xu Ning, and Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "Of course it's OK."
Seeing that Bernard had paid for it, others also asked to bring a box back.
They followed Victor to the wine cellar before and saw the red wine that only took nearly four years to make, and there were only one thousand boxes at a time. They all understood the inside story, so they naturally would not be shameless and wanted more. They were identifiable wine tasters, not robbers who "bully the weak".
"Actually, I suggest that your red wine will be more appropriate in the form of an auction!" Bernard put forward his own point of view, "After all, the production is scarce and cannot be sold in batches like other red wines."
I believe that in less than half a month, the Dream Wine that was brewed in the past four years will be sold out. I really feel reluctant to think about it.
Xu Ning silently remembered it in her heart while listening to them chatting. She decided to discuss it with him after Brother Zheng came back. After all, Brother Zheng likes to drink red wine, so she should know a little about this.
The group left the winery the next morning. The reason why they were so anxious was that they were going back to promote the wine, and they also had to record books, etc., and there were other cocktail parties waiting for them to attend abroad.
For this reason, Qin Xuejuan personally asked the company's bus to come and take these dozen big men to the airport. Of course, the company also gave them the air tickets.
Although the big guys are not short of this money, after all, people who buy a box of red wine for tens of thousands of dollars can't afford the 1,800 air ticket money? But they didn't refuse Qin Xuejuan's intentions, and they were still very happy.
After seeing off the distinguished guest, Xu Ning left a sum of money for the Victors and his wife, and the rest were deposited in the bank. Of course, the amount of money she left was quite large, at least Victors and his wife retreated very much.
They don’t have to worry about food and drink here, and they use the best food and food, so it’s even more comfortable to live in the manor. When they have nothing to do, the couple still go around to play, but they really don’t help much.
In other words, Victor felt that although he had brewed this dream wine, this wine also made him successful, which was mutually beneficial to both sides.
The Victor family has operated winemaking technology for generations. They are not short of money and are constantly climbing and innovating.
It was only a week later that Ningrui Wine Manor suddenly appeared in front of the World Wine Association in a hurricane manner. More than a dozen world-leading wine tasters gave him full marks, which caused a great shock.
Others may be fine, but it is really unusual to be so harsh that Bernard was conquered by this wine.
For this reason, the world's largest wine seller, Bernard's friend Cartel ran over without stopping.
"Bernard, what did you really think of the association's rating on Ningrui wine?"
Bernard was writing with glasses at this time, and he wanted to write an article for this wine.
"It's me." He nodded and responded, "I know what you are going to do, but this wine probably won't be sold directly, it may be in the form of an auction."
"…Why?" Cartel suddenly raised his voice, "My family has been doing wine business for hundreds of years. Who is the best business in the world? Why do we have to conduct auctions?"
"Because the value is too high." Bernard knew that he would not give his friend a satisfactory reply, so he had to put down his pen, take off his glasses, and ask him to sit down in the chair next to him. "And it takes only four years to bottle it, and the annual output is only 13,400 bottles. Also, this is a joint evaluation by me and more than a dozen colleagues, and it is also the first full-scoring brand in wine history. As long as we put our own evaluations in the newspaper, many wine lovers will go crazy to order Victor, and you don't need to intervene in the middle."
Cartel naturally knew that his friend would not lie to him, but this was definitely a very amazing business. Now he couldn't make up any profit. He was in a very upset mood.
"I know your appreciation level, but I still can't believe it. Did you bring a box when you come back?" Cartel looked at his friend like a wolf and a tiger.
Bernard sighed softly, turned to the wine cellar, took out a bottle of red wine from the box, and when he came back, he pulled out the cork with grace and skillful attitude, poured two glasses.
"You'll know if you try it."
The cartel bent over and was whispered, "Don't taste it, I'll know if you smell this smell."
God, this smell is really intoxicating. The rich fragrance rushes out one after another, wrapping you in it like a surge. Some people are in a dreamlike world. No wonder these people have a unified evaluation of "dream red wine".
Perhaps when you look at the words in the magazine, no matter how gorgeous you are, you cannot really empathize with it. But now you just smell this mellow fragrance and you will see the gorgeous words in the magazine, which is really not enough to describe the aromatic and mellow thing.
"Bernard, I seem to see the Garden of Eden." Cartel looked at the wine in the glass with intoxicated eyes, with a dreamy golden color in the red, "It's so wonderful."
Bernard didn't say anything, and sipped slowly with a glass of wine. This was really a wonderful feeling that made people rather drown in it.
Bernard really wanted to know what it would be like to plant such high-quality grape land, but the owner of the winery seemed very determined.
