Chapter 264 Balthazar Winery
The next day, Chen Xi opened his eyes and found Shazhi staring at him angrily. Thinking of the exciting things last night, he smiled sheepishly.
"You're awake."
"Look at the good things you did last night."
Faced with Chen Xi's morning greetings, Shazhi was very angry and direct He stretched out an arm, and the skin on it had changed color. It could be seen that he was twisted behind his back too hard last night, which caused some bruises.
When she thought of the scene on the lighthouse last night and the things they learned to do, Shazhi blushed a little. In the end, she imitated Huang Rong and knelt there...
Thinking of that thing , and suddenly I felt a dull pain in my throat.
She heard the conversation on the lighthouse clearly. Fortunately, Chen Xi didn't have that habit, so he used a mobile phone to take pictures.
Chen Xi was very rude last night, which made her a little scared.
"Baby, it was my fault last night, but you stuffed me with so many oysters..."
"It's your fault that the oysters came. Look at my hair, you almost tore it out." At the end of last night, I had no strength left, and Chen Xi forcibly dragged me back...
< br>"Okay, okay. I thought you were as physically fit as Huang Rong..."
"Fuck you!"
Shazhi kicked him and then Turn away.
The next second she felt soreness in her waist. Fortunately, a pair of big hands massaged her consciously, which relieved her.
"I'm just saying you haven't even gotten up yet! It was like having a singing competition in each room last night."
"Why don't you get up? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, all you can think about is that "
"Xiu Xiu, I am a normal man."
"Just hold it in for a while and wait to see how you behave."
"Huh? How many months? Oh my God."
The conversation between Sun Cheng and Gu Xinxiu sounded outside the door, making everyone in each room laugh.
The soundproofing of this house is really bad, you can hear everything you say.
After half an hour, everyone came out one after another, all of them looking like they were overindulging.
Sun Cheng looked at the other four men with envy, which earned him another look of contempt from Gu Xinxiu.
Today we went to a winery not too far away from here. The winery is not small, about fifty acres. As far as the eye can see, it is full of green plants and full of vitality.
The winery also has its own olive grove.
The grapes in Tuao are generally ripe from March to April, and the olives are from April to June, so they are no longer visible.
The owner of the winery gave everyone a taste of several fine wines they brewed, each with a unique flavor and taste. While tasting the wine and listening to the host's explanation, everyone felt their love and persistence for wine.
Everyone also visited other facilities of the winery, such as fermentation room, storage room, etc.
The equipment here costs about hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars, and small winery equipment only costs less than 200,000 Australian dollars.
"This wine is good, but it lacks fame. If it is packaged and sold in China, it will be very popular." Liya took a sip of a glass of red wine in her hand.
There are many brands and years of wine on the table, which are all brought out by the owner of the winery for everyone to taste.
These are naturally included in the fee. You need to pay to visit here. By the way, you can also taste some wine for the guests. If the guests think it tastes good, they will buy some.
“This wine is rare in wine places!” Ouyang Ming also agreed.
There are many kinds of convenience stores selling liquor in Tuao, the most famous ones are DanMurphy's and BWS. This is a liquor store chain with many branches in Tuao and a full range of liquors.
In Tu'ao's beverage industry, there is a company called Edgemill Group, whose business covers retail and wholesale. It is one of the few companies in the country that can independently produce, mix and bottle wine and spirits.
Since its inception, Zhimei Group has insisted on taking quality as its core and providing the market with high-quality alcoholic products.
As a 100% family-owned company, Zhimei Group's business covers multiple beverage markets at home and abroad, including Edgemill, AWP, AGDA and other branches.
These branches each assume different responsibilities and jointly promote the steady development of the group.
Edgemill Company is one of the core members of Zhimei Group, focusing on the sales of domestic wine and spirits. With rich market experience and professional sales team, Edgemill always maintains close contact with consumers, deeply understands market needs, and provides consumers with satisfactory products and services.
AWP focuses on wholesale dry goods and bulk wine business. As an important branch of Zhimei Group, AWP Company relies on its extensive distribution network and high-quality customer service to deliver high-quality red wine to various sales channels to meet the diverse needs of the market.
AGDA is responsible for the mixing, testing, warehousing and contract packaging business of Zhimei Group. As one of the group's core competitiveness, AGDA has always insisted on strict control of product quality to ensure that every bottle of wine meets the quality standards of Zhimei Group.
The success of Zhimei Group is due to its insistence on quality and keen insight into the market. Under the business model of a family business, Zhimei Group has given full play to the cohesion among family members and its resistance to external capital. This business model enables Zhimei Group to better respond to market changes and maintain stable development.
Many people think that the older the wine, the better, but this is not the case.
The quality of wine does not only depend on its vintage, but is closely related to the quality of the grapes in the year of production.
Life cycle: Wine, like humans, has its own unique life cycle. This cycle begins with youth, progresses through maturity, and finally leads to aging. Each stage has its own unique characteristics and the best time to drink it.
Ideal drinking period: Most wines exhibit their best flavor during their ideal drinking period. This period is usually between 5 and 10 years. Once this period of time has passed, the wine may begin to enter a period of decline, and its taste and flavor may gradually diminish.
Aging potential: Not all wines have the ability to age. Some wines can be stored for long periods of time under the right conditions, but that doesn't mean they get better with time. On the contrary, even high-quality wine may lose its original characteristics if stored for too long.
Quality of grapes: The quality of grapes is crucial to the impact of wine. If climatic conditions are favorable in a given year, the quality of the grapes will usually be better that year, resulting in a higher quality wine.
Price and Storage Potential: The vintage of a wine often affects its price. However, for everyday table wines, they have limited aging potential and should be consumed as soon as possible to experience the best flavor.
Different types of wine: Fresh and aged wines have different best drinking periods. Fresh wines are best consumed within 5 years, while aged wines are at their best between 5 and 10 years.
In the past, I watched TV dramas where a bottle of wine would go rancid if left for decades. I don’t know what the director was thinking.
When it comes to the most famous red wine in Tuao, people will naturally think of Penfolds.
Penfolds was founded in 1844 and owns many classic products such as Penfolds Grange, Yatana, Bin707, Bin407, Bin389, Bin98 and so on.
The red wine of the winery in front of you is labeled with its own unique name - Balthazar, which is quite rare in the market. The owner of the winery is a Buddhist, and the price of the wine is reasonable and unobtrusive.
He firmly believes that truly good wine does not need a high price to set off, but should win the love of consumers through its quality and taste.
Therefore, he sells his wines at affordable prices so that more people can taste his carefully brewed works. There are many craft beer manufacturers near the Great Ocean Road. Local people like to drink those craft beers so much that the boss’s red wine can only be sold to other areas.
Soon, Liya started discussing with the boss about purchasing goods. Fang Lin also wanted to start a red wine business, and he and Ouyang Ming would interject a few words from time to time.
Chen Xi tilted his head and looked at Huang Rong, who had nothing to do. This woman looked very quiet on the surface, but she didn't expect that she would play so wildly on the lighthouse last night.
"What are you looking at? Are you still thinking about what happened last night? She must have been finished by you." Saori pulled him aside and muttered quietly.
"No way, the lighthouse is so high, and the visibility is not good at night..."
"Come on, you! You were so rude last night, I was all blue, my throat is still open now It still hurts."
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again next time."
"Actually...it doesn't matter...I still want to do it next time...although there are some..."
>
"You little goblin."
"Didn't you say you like S!"
"..."
Chen Xidu was speechless by Shazhi's words. I was a little embarrassed, and looked at Huang Rong's serious look.
He became excited again when he thought that Saori had learned the other party's movements last night.
Under the lighthouse last night, he imitated Fang Lin's behavior and lifted Shazhi up... Now his arms are a little sore.
“This wine is really cheap, and the quantity is not small.”
“That’s right, if I get it to Zhijiang, the bosses will definitely like it.”
“ We need to promote this brand first.”
Half an hour later, Liya and others came over, still talking about red wine.
Liya meant to ask Ouyang Ming to open a local convenience store selling wine, and then transport the wine to the country to sell.
I wonder if she saw that Ouyang Ming wanted to return to China after graduation, so she tied him to Tuao with some properties. Because in his previous life, Ouyang Ming also broke up with her because he wanted to return to China.
Fang Lin's idea was very simple. He was so wealthy that he didn't think too much about it. He went straight to his boss and ordered a bunch of wine, hoping to transport it back to China, package it and sell it to acquaintances.
Cherry picked out a few bottles of more expensive wine and wanted to go back and give them to his father. Chenxu thought he was a good son-in-law, so he nodded and agreed readily.
Chen Xi shook his head, feeling that Cherry had taken advantage of him, but looking at the time, the two broke up almost before graduation, so there was no need to say anything now.
"How about I also buy some wine for your dad as a gift." Saori said with a bottle of red wine in her hand, which is considered good here.
"Come on, my dad doesn't drink." Chen Xi waved his hand. His dad doesn't smoke or drink.
"Have you ever introduced me to your family?"
"Not yet... I'll find a chance later. By the way, does your dad drink? I'll buy a few bottles for him. .”
Faced with this question, Chen Xi immediately changed the topic.
"There is a lot of wine at home, so there is no need to waste money. But you can have a drink with him in person when you have time."
"I can't even speak Sakura."
"He can speak In English..."
Shazhi introduced him diligently. His own father, Chen Xi’s mind is now full of scenes from TV series. He went to Sakura Country to propose marriage. Saori’s father is a stubborn old man, and for some reason the two of them had a fight...
“What are you thinking about? ?" Shazhi shook him in a daze.
"Ah? Is your father easy to get along with?" Chen Xi asked innocently.
"It's not bad, hee hee~ I see you're scared."
"That's not bad, I thought I was going to film Fist of Fury!"
Just now, he had imagined himself as Chen Zhen, killing everyone in the martial arts gym. The owner of the gym was a burly man with a sinister face, shouting: "Don't even think about marrying my daughter!".
“What are you doing with my phone!”
"Hurry up and delete the video from last night."
"If you didn't resist last night, I will assume that you took the video voluntarily."
"You were so strong last night, what did you ask me to do? Resist..."
"Little dot "You want everyone to know? I won't delete the video, just give up."
In the corner, the two were arguing, Huang Rong's face was red with anger, and Fang Lin was furious. He put his hands in his pockets and held on to the phone tightly.
He has that kind of hobby and likes to shoot some weird things. Every girlfriend he has been with has been photographed, and he often takes out those videos to share with his friends.
If you are a male friend, you will definitely find this brother interesting and easy to get along with!
But those ex-girlfriends were all very sad. It didn’t matter when they were filming, but once they broke up, they felt like they were being admired like the heroines in a short movie.
"What are you doing? You want to take pictures too?" Shazhi, who overheard the conversation, pinched Chen Xi.
"I don't have that kind of hobby! But you, do you remember what happened before we fell in love? I was photographed by you at your house."
"Isn't that why I want to tie you up!" When someone mentioned the past, Shazhi immediately blushed. Thinking about the scandalous things she had done in the past, she couldn't hold her head up. It seemed that she had nothing to do with that Fang Lin. What a difference.
Recalling the rough treatment she received from the other party yesterday, she was both excited and scared, feeling pain and happiness at the same time.
I seem to be a little perverted, Chen Xi must have thought that I was that Huang Rong last night.
Thinking of this, Saori glanced at the girl not far away involuntarily. The rose tattooed on her calf added a touch of wildness to her originally quiet appearance.
When we went back, we had a meal in Geelong. This is a slightly larger city nearby, and there is also a branch campus of Didi University. It is much more prosperous than the nearby towns. .
