俗话说：“酒越陈越香”，很多人认为，白酒的存放时间越长，价值越高。

It is commonly said that "wine gets better with age", and many people believe that the longer a liquor is stored, the more valuable it becomes.

根据国家质检总局和国家标准委的规定，10度以上的饮用酒可以不用标注保质期。

According to the regulations of the State Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration, drinks with an alcohol content of 10 degrees or higher do not need to be marked with a shelf life.

但白酒没标保质期，并不代表不会过期。一般来说，白酒都会有最佳饮用时间，而白酒的具体可饮用时间，与酿造工艺、酒体度数、存放条件以及是否开封有着较高的相关性。

However, just because liquor does not have a shelf life marked on it, it does not mean that it will not go bad. In general, all liquors have an optimal drinking time, and the specific drinking time of liquor is highly related to the brewing process, alcohol content, storage conditions, and whether it has been opened.

那么不同香型白酒存放多久口感更佳呢？

Then, how long should different fragrance liquors be stored to achieve the best taste?

酱香型：5-25年

Sauce flavor: 5-25 years

前些年茅台热带动了酱酒热，越来越多的酒友开始喝起了酱酒。

A few years ago, Moutai fever led to sauce wine fever, and more and more drinking friends began to drink sauce wine.

酱香白酒是中国蒸馏酒中的一种，整个生产流程一年一个生产周期，两次投料，九次蒸煮，八次发酵，七次取酒。刚蒸馏出来的白酒叫新酒，一般新酿的酱香白酒至少要5年以上才出售。

Sauce-flavored liquor is one of the distilled spirits in China. The whole production process is one production cycle a year, with two feeding times, nine cooking times, eight fermentation times and seven collecting times. Just distilled out of the liquor is called new wine, the general new brew of sauce-flavored liquor at least 5 years before sale.

酱香白酒的口感和风味跟后期储藏有很大的关系，刚酿造出来的新酒口感不好，有些辛辣、风味也不协调，需要经过一段时间的贮藏，通过贮藏中一系列变化来降低白酒辛辣感和刺激感，同时还可以增加一些香味的微量成分，让白酒的酒体更加和谐醇厚，趋于醇和，这个过程叫做白酒老熟。

The taste and flavor of Maoji-flavored liquor have a great relationship with late storage. The new wine just brewed is not good in taste, some spicy, and the flavor is not coordinated. It needs to be stored for a period of time, and a series of changes in storage can reduce the spicy and stimulating sense of liquor. This process is called wine aging.

虽然相较于其他香型白酒，酱酒的储存时间更长，但是这并不代表酱酒储存的时间越长越好，一般来说，在密封性好的环境下，贮藏5-25年的酱酒口感更佳。

Although the storage time of sauce wine is longer than that of other flavor spirits, it does not mean that the longer the storage time of sauce wine is better, in general, in a good sealed environment, the sauce wine stored for 5-25 years has a better taste.

存放10年以上的坤沙酱酒，颜色黄中透着绿，绵柔醇厚，香郁回甘。状态已经达到巅峰，继续陈放下去，收益甚微，香气口感也会变淡。

The Kunsha sauce wine, which has been stored for more than 10 years, is yellow and green in color, soft and mellow, and fragrant and sweet. The state has reached its peak, continue to let it go, the benefit is little, the aroma and taste will become weak.

浓香型：3-10年

Luzhou-flavor: 3-10 years

浓香型白酒占据我国白酒市场的半壁江山。目前浓香型白酒的市场份额依旧在70%以上。

Luzhou-flavor liquor occupies half of the liquor market in China. At present, the market share of Luzhou-flavor liquor is still more than 70%.

相较于酱香型白酒的浓郁，清香型白酒的淡雅，浓香型白酒刚好处于二者之间，经过陈年老窖或者人工培养的老窖发酵，产生乙酸乙酯，这种成分含香量较高，而且香气突出，口感绵柔，消费者更容易适应。

Compared with the rich flavor of Maotai-flavored liquor and the light flavor of Qingxiang-flavored liquor, Luzhou-flavored liquor is just between the two. After the fermentation of aged cellar or artificially cultured old cellar, ethyl acetate is produced. This component has higher aroma content, outstanding aroma and soft taste, which is easier for consumers to adapt to.

市面上常见的浓香型白酒，52度居多，优秀的浓香白酒"无色透明、窖香优雅、绵甜爽净、柔和协调、尾净香长"，其代表产品包括“五粮液、泸州老窖、洋河”等等。

Common Luzhou-flavor liquor on the market, mostly 52 degrees, excellent Luzhou-flavor liquor "colorless and transparent, cellar aroma elegant, sweet and clean, soft and coordinated, tail net fragrance long", its representative products include "Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, Yanghe" and so on.

浓香型白酒的酿造工艺不似酱酒那般复杂，所以贮藏时间也远不及酱酒那般长久。一般来说，在密封程度较好的情况下，浓香型白酒的合适保存期限是3-10年左右。

The brewing process of Luzhou-flavor liquor is not as complicated as that of sauce wine, so the storage time is far less than that of sauce wine. In general, in the case of a good degree of sealing, the appropriate preservation period of Luzhou-flavor liquor is about 3-10 years.

一瓶浓香型白酒存放个3年、5年、10年，口感上也会存在一定区别：

A bottle of Luzhou-flavor liquor stored for 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, there will be certain differences in taste:

存放三年：无色或微黄透明，窖香浓郁，陈香明显，柔和、绵甜、尾味净爽，余香和回味悠长；

Storage for three years: colorless or yellowish transparent, rich cellar aroma, obvious aging aroma, soft, sweet, clean end taste, lingering aroma and long aftertaste;

存放五年：无色或透明微黄，窖香浓郁，陈香幽雅，醇厚丰满，绵柔甘冽，落口爽净，余香和回味悠长，窖香和陈香的复合香气协调优美；

Storage for five years: colorless or transparent yellowish, strong cellar aroma, elegant old aroma, mellow and plump, soft and sweet, clean mouth, long lingering aroma and aftertaste, complex aroma of cellar aroma and old aroma coordination and beautiful;

存放十年：无色或微黄透明，窖香浓郁，陈香突出，幽雅细腻，醇厚绵柔，甘冽净爽，余香和回味悠长，酒体丰满，具有悠美协调的复合陈香。

10 years of storage: colorless or yellow transparent, rich cellar aroma, outstanding aging aroma, elegant and delicate, mellow and soft, sweet and clean, lingering and long aftertaste, full body, with beautiful and coordinated complex aging.

超过十年后，酒体中的风味物质挥发得过多，酒的口感与香气会变得越来越寡淡，品质也就会逐渐下降。

After more than 10 years, the flavor substances in the wine body volatilize too much, the taste and aroma of the wine will become more and more weak, and the quality will gradually decline.

清香型：1-5年

Clear flavor: 1-5 years

中国三大主流香型，除了酱香、浓香还有清香。清香型白酒的辐射面积广阔，从南到北都有酿清香型白酒。

China's three main flavor types, in addition to the sauce flavor, aroma and fragrance. The radiation area of clean-flavor liquor is wide, and there are brewed clean-flavor liquor from south to north.

依据香型定义，清香型白酒以高粱等谷物为原料，以大麦和豌豆制成的中温大曲为糖化发酵剂，采用清蒸清糟酿造工艺、固态地缸发酵、清蒸馏酒，强调“清香纯正、一清到底”，典型的清渣法工艺。

According to the definition of flavor, the clean-flavor liquor uses sorghum and other grains as raw materials, and the medium-temperature Daqu made of barley and peas as the saccharifying starter culture. It adopts the brewing process of steaming and clearing grains, solid tank fermentation, and clear distillation of liquor, emphasizing the typical process of "pure fragrance and clear to the end".

不同于浓香型白酒和酱酒在贮存过程中比较稳定，清香型这样的低度酒贮存过程中质量变化较大，香味成分随酒度的降低而改变了原有的平衡，使酒中酸增加，酯类减少。清香型白酒的储存过程中，总酸逐渐升高，总酯逐渐下降，后期趋于平稳状态。

Different from Luzhou-flavor liquor and sauce liquor which are relatively stable during storage, the quality of low-alcohol liquor such as pure flavor liquor changes greatly during storage, and the aroma composition changes the original balance with the decrease of alcohol intensity, resulting in the increase of acid in wine and the reduction of ester.

所以与酱香、浓香型白酒相比，清香型白酒在储存过程中时间不宜过长，一定要把握好存放的时间。

Therefore, compared with sauce-flavor and Luzhou-flavor liquor, the time in the storage process of clean-flavor liquor should not be too long, and we must grasp the storage time.

低度的清香型白酒建议尽快饮用，1-5年更佳，因为清香型白酒追求的就是“干净”，不必要过久储存。如果高度的清香型酒（52°以上）保存方法和储藏环境得当的话存放十几年甚至二三十年的是没有问题的。

It is recommended to drink low-degree clean-flavor liquor as soon as possible, 1-5 years is better, because the pursuit of clean-flavor liquor is "clean", it is unnecessary to store for too long. If the highly fragrant wine (above 52°) preservation method and storage environment are appropriate, it is no problem to store it for more than ten years or even twenty or thirty years.

米香型：1-3年

Rice flavor: 1-3 years

米香型白酒是中国历史悠久的传统酒种，是一种以大米为主要原料的蒸馏酒。其香气清柔，幽雅纯净，入口柔绵，回味怡畅，给人以朴实纯正的美感。

Rice flavor liquor is a kind of traditional liquor with long history in China. It is a kind of distilled liquor with rice as the main raw material. Its aroma is soft, elegant and pure, the entrance is soft, and the aftertaste is pleasant, giving people a simple and pure aesthetic feeling.

相较于其他香型白酒，米香型白酒度数较低，并不适合长期存放，其优质保存期为1-3年，如果时间过长就会出现脂类物质水解的现象，会导致口味寡淡的问题。

Different types of fragrance, its best storage time will be different. Generally speaking, the more complex the process and the higher the degree of time, the longer the appropriate storage time.

按照白酒评选标准，目前白酒界公认的香型可分为12种，除了上面说到的酱香、浓香、清香、米香，还有兼香、凤香、芝麻香、豉香型、特香、药香、老白干香、馥郁香。

According to the liquor selection criteria, the current recognized flavor in the liquor industry can be divided into 12 kinds, in addition to the above mentioned sauce aroma, Luzhou aroma, fragrance, rice aroma, as well as the fragrance, phoenix aroma, sesame aroma, soy flavor, special aroma, medicinal aroma, Lao Bai dry aroma, rich fragrance.

香型不同，其最佳存放时间都会有所差距。普遍来说，工艺越复杂、度数越高的时间，其适宜储存时间也就越长。

Different types of fragrance, its best storage time will be different. Generally speaking, the more complex the process and the higher the degree of time, the longer the appropriate storage time.

但是实际白酒的最佳贮存期还与储藏环境、存放方式息息相关。无论是什么香型白酒，存放时都应放在密闭、干燥、阴凉的地方。

But the optimal storage period of actual liquor is also closely related to storage environment and storage method. No matter what flavor liquor, it should be stored in a closed, dry, cool place.
