Gold into white wine: gold wine or "bold wine"
On 5 february, xinhua network guiyang (journalist lee ling, wang xin ming, and pan deokang) the ndc issued a letter from the office of the national commission for health and family planning requesting advice on the proposed approval of the new varieties of gold as food additives。
Can you drink "gold"
According to a recent letter from the ndc official network, gold is intended to be approved as a new food additive variety, with a maximum use of 0. 02 grams per kilogram of white wine, and the production process is to automate pure gold with a purity of 99. 99 per cent in a physical manner, so that it is evenly distributed into small molecules, and to reset the small gold molecules into stacks, forming food additive gold in the form of a precision control molecule crystal stack。
One stone stirs a thousand waves, and many citizens and netizens wonder: can gold be added to the wine? Is it good for health
"golden wine was early." an analyst of the fong-jin food and beverage industry, xue yu, described the wine as a gift of gold, which was first added to the wine by small pieces of gold from abroad, floating in the wine with small pieces and flashing bright and beautiful。
An online search by journalists found that, in practice, there are a large number of companies that produce or sell gold wine in our country, most of which promote the health-care function of the wine, the addition of which is a specially processed edible gold edible, which can be “health-careful” and “suspended” for the sake of “the peace of mind and beauty”。
“it used to be in red wine. White wine didn't say that. The wine tasted like nothing special. It was just a good shake, but so far, no health care has been heard.” chen lai, the general manager of the soy net, had been in contact with gold wine for many years, and he believed that it was more of a charade and charade, although there was a certain market, but it was largely out of drinking。
In the expert's view, the entrance to the gold platinum will only “go through and back to dust”. According to chen jun-suk, general adviser of the national food safety risk assessment centre and a member of the chinese engineering college, gold beads have been used as food additives at the international level for a long time, and when people eat, they are neither absorbed nor deposited. Thus, the introduction of wine in gold has no impact on human health, does not endanger health and does not help。
Even if the opinion was adopted, who would guarantee pure gold to reduce costs? Some distributors have told journalists that 99. 99 per cent purity is difficult to guarantee if there is a real high level of market entry. “everyone will produce, buy, and if it is not well managed, it will inevitably be the case that people will lose their jobs, fill them up, and there will be real security problems.”

Innovation or illegality
“it's not new. In sichuan and guizhou, as early as 1993, there was a bottle of wine.” according to u tianxiang, the party secretary at the university of guizhou school of brewery and food engineering, thai businessmen went to the town of mao tai and asked to be added to white wine to meet the needs of some consumers in south-east asia. The regulation was very strict, and it was illegal to add gold to the wine, so it was not successful。
“it is still illegal, not innovative.” according to wu tianxiang, brewing is subject to solid fermentation, solid distillation, long-term storage and coupling, and national standards and product quality laws do not allow the addition of non-fermentation additives。
In 2001, the former ministry of health issued a copy of the "observation of the health department of jiangsu province on questions relating to sanitary supervision of gin peng " , stating that, under the terms of the regulations, gold beads are neither a source of wine food nor used as food additives, and their inclusion in foods should be prohibited. In may 2014, the nanjing gold liquor group was urged by the business and industry sector to return the product on suspicion of illegal production and sale。
The expert noted that this was a one-page consultation letter that was not understood by outsiders and that interests were silent. The letter did not mention the context of role, effectiveness, etc. It is not known to the public whether there is information such as professional necessity. "who submitted this? Will there be a backstage operation of the white wine company?" there are online questions。
Wu tianxiang believes that spring festival is a hot season for white wine consumption, at which time the mention of gold wine is clearly a setup. “... It is a deformed view of consumption derived from the sale of red wine, which is not allowed to be added to a large brand of red wine abroad, and where a part of the domestic agent, after having received the imported wine, drills a regulatory loophole in the domestic filling to prevent its extension to white wine.”
There are rules. Order in the white wine industry remains to be maintained
In recent years, the white wine industry has experienced pain as the eight central regulations have been further implemented. In 2012, a bottle of siphon wine was around $2,000, and in 2014 it was only about $1,000. Between january and november of last year, the national white wine industry lost 13. 7 per cent in profits over the same period。
Journalists visited a number of tobacco and alcohol stores and supermarkets in guiyang city and found that there was currently no sale of platinum wine, some of which were not known or even heard. A shopkeeper with more than a decade of white wine sales said that he did not appreciate the wine, because of high prices and concerns about its safety and health。
“the sale of white wine is by no means an act of `self-help'. Advertising alcohol and swirling wine are already at a dead end. The quality of the white wine industry is stable and healthy, with only the quality of a `one vote veto'.” according to the director of the guizhou alcohol association。
“white wine is still the country's largest food industry, with a total revenue of more than 450 billion yuan in 2014.” u tianxiang believes that, after nearly two years of deep adjustment, the development of white wine is gradually becoming rational, but there is still a need to guard against irregularities in which some enterprises seek to disrupt the market and profit from it。
“the negative effects of the plastic windstorm two years ago on the industry have not yet been completely eliminated, and the spring season is approaching, with articles on additives, and businesses and government regulators need to be vigilant as to whether such behaviour will destabilize the re-emergence of the white wine industry.” wu tianxiang says。
The professor of sociology at shandong university, wang zhongwu, believes that the use of gold beryllium as an additive to white alcohol, under pressure against corruption, under eight provisions, is incompatible with the atmosphere of society as a whole and may even provide a breeding ground for corruption. “from a month-to-day price cake to a day-to-day price price, it reflects a society's bad wind and deformity, and is it likely that the gold wine is the next deformed consumer?”
