The Kaiseki restaurant is located on the fourth floor of LA PORTE shopping mall in Tokyo. After the elevator reaches the fourth floor, the whole style changes.

One second ago, they were in the elevator of a bustling shopping mall. The next second, Li Zhongxin and Komura Keika were greeted by well-dressed service staff bowing and saying hello, and a quaint restaurant.

The restaurant is classically and elegantly decorated, and Japanese-style light music makes people feel as if they have traveled back to ancient Japan. In order to create the best dining environment, it is divided into several areas for guests to sit. Each seat is unique and looks unique.

A feeling of peace of mind.

Because Li Zhongxin asked Komura Huixiang to reserve a private room in advance, it was very easy to find the reserved private room under the guidance of the waiter.

The waiter who took the order knelt down on his knees at the signal of Keixiang Komura, and very quietly raised the menu next to Li Zhongxin, preparing to wait for Li Zhongxin to order.

"Hello, sir, Jiujing Naizi is here to serve you. Do you need to order food or any service now?" When Li Zhongxin was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up. A very beautiful waitress was holding a menu.

, and knelt down beside him respectfully.

Li Zhongxin saw that the waitress was pretty, had a nice voice, a sweet smell, and a capable air between her brows.

He couldn't help but think that the high-end places in Tokyo were really good, even if the waiters were all beauties of this level. Over in China, the Zhongxin Fish Restaurant he had in Jiangcheng was already considered a pretty good restaurant, and in Japan

The hotels here are simply as good as heaven and earth. When will China be able to have such hotels appear, and when will China be able to truly rise to the top of the world!

After Li Zhongxin's unrealistic thoughts were thrown out of his mind, he took the menu, ordered some dishes casually, and said casually: "After handing over the menu, give me a bottle of 1982 Lafite, now.

Decant the wine with a decanter."

Li Zhongxin thought that he had never drank before, nor did he mention drinking. When he was treating guests this time, he should order a bottle of 1982 Lafite red wine. In this way, it could adjust the atmosphere during the negotiation and make it more upscale.

Li Zhongxin has always had the impression that Lafite is one of the world-renowned French Bordeaux wines and a representative of French red wine.

1982 was a rare good year in that year. The excellent climatic conditions made the quality of the grapes very good. The wine of this year was unanimously praised by wine collectors around the world, so it was also very expensive.

Because the 1982 Lafite is one of the best quality vintages, it has been treasured by many people since it was launched.

The high-quality 82-year-old Lafite circulating in the market was quite famous in later generations and was a status symbol for Chinese people when they drank.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have 82-year-old Lafite here, and I don't recommend that you drink recent red wine when drinking.

Because red wine has a drinking period, if you choose Lafite, I suggest you choose 49-year-old Lafite. 45-year, 47-year, and 49-year-old Lafite are the best. And 49-year-old Lafite is the right wine.

It’s a suitable drinking period, and the price is not very high.” Jiujing Naizi, who was kneeling next to Li Zhongxin, explained to Li Zhongxin with a slight smile and recommended that Li Zhongxin choose the 1949 vintage Lafite.

After listening to this, Li Zhongxin was stunned at first, and then he looked at the capable Japanese girl in front of him as if he had suddenly discovered a new world. This girl had a nice voice and was very beautiful. She had a kind of smile when she showed her face.

It has an extremely sweet taste, and the most important thing is that she actually understands red wine and knows the right period to drink it.

In later generations, Li Zhongxin also heard that there is a suitable drinking period for red wine. However, the red wines he drank were all of a kind that did not meet the grade. There was no such thing as a suitable drinking period. Now in Tokyo, he suddenly heard that around him

When the waitress mentioned this matter, he naturally wanted to hear this statement.

Li Zhongxin smiled slightly, showing the expression of a big boy. He asked with great interest: "It seems that you know a lot about red wine! Then tell me, why did you choose the 49-year-old, the best red wine?"

What’s going on with the drinking period?”

Seeing Li Zhongxin's interested look, the waitress smiled and said: "I worked as a wine promoter in Paris when I was studying in France, so! I know a little about red wine.

Let me tell you this! When wine enters the drinking period, it has always been a hot topic among wine lovers and experts.

The main reason this is such a perennial topic is because not all wines age at the same rate.

All wine has its own life cycle.

Most wines on the market are meant to be consumed immediately or within a relatively short period of time (perhaps one to two years).

Generally speaking, the lifespan of white wine is shorter than that of red wine. It should be pointed out that all wines (including red wine) will reach the peak of quality within a certain period of time, and then slowly enter a period of decline in quality.

As the aging time of wine increases, the vibrant fruity flavors and acidity in young wines will gradually become less obvious, and subtle aldehyde flavors and softer tannins will appear in the wine.

As the wine continues to mature, the fruity flavor in the wine begins to gradually disappear, and the wine body becomes slightly lighter. Oxidation will further cause the flavor of the wine to fade over time.

Some wines (especially reds) do get better and better as they age. For example, the best time to open a bottle of vintage Port is after it has been matured for 20 to 40 years.

However, many winemakers have realized that most ordinary consumers don't want to wait 10 to 20 years for a wine to taste great.

Therefore, if you get a bottle of wine that you cherish very much, you must be aware of the life cycle of the wine.

The most common way is to get this information about the wine from the merchant, and the best way is - if you think the wine may have reached its peak of quality, drink it without hesitation

.

Now the 49-year-old Lafite has just entered its best period, so I suggest you choose the 49-year-old Lafite.

A few years ago, a major counterfeit wine scandal broke out throughout Bordeaux in France. Three million bottles of counterfeit wine were sold as famous brands. Bordeaux wines were in mourning. Lafite and even the wines of the entire Bordeaux region of France were reduced to a pariah.

Nowadays, no one cares about high-end red wines. For example, the 1982 Lafite wine you just mentioned is on sale in small supermarkets in France!

Lafite and several major wine distributors with the same name as him are now carrying out a lot of advertising and promotion, and red wine has just made a slight improvement.

Li Zhongxin was very fascinated by what he heard. After he came to his senses, he pondered for a moment, chose to order the 49-year-old Lafite, and told the very enthusiastic waitress Kuai Naiko that after a while Mitsui Masako and Ono Gongxin arrived here.

I'll bring the red wine over immediately.

After the waitress Jiujing Naiko, who looked very smart at first glance, went down, Li Zhongxin fell into deep thought.

Lafite in 1982 was actually in such a situation at this time, which really subverted Li Zhongxin's imagination.

In later generations, let alone the Lafite of 1982, even the Lafite of 1990 or so, he never bought it.

The price, which can easily reach tens of thousands of yuan, made Li Zhongxin feel that it was not worth it.

The most important thing is that the 1982 Lafite sold in China in one year even exceeds the output of Chateau Lafite in ten years. In other words, fake wine is basically purchased at a sky-high price.

Should I save some 1982 Lafite at this time?

Li Zhongxin pinched his temple twice with his right hand, and he decided to buy some 1982 Lafite and store it. Not to mention the huge profits of this kind of wine, in future generations, he can take out a bottle of pure 82-year-old Lafite anytime and anywhere.

Lafite in the second year, that is definitely a very honorable thing.

The waiter Kujing Naizi came back from studying in France and is not very old. In the past two days, he should take time to have a good talk with Kujing Naizi to see if Kujing Naizi can do anything for him.

Work.

When going to France to buy Lafite, Jiujing Naizi should be considered a better channel. After all, Jiujing Naizi has done red wine promotion in France and is familiar with the people there.

According to the current situation of Lafite and other famous wineries in France, as long as someone goes there to buy good red wine, that is their god.

How much wine should I save?

Should I use this money to save wine, or should I use this money to invest in other areas?
