Not so long ago, a rather interesting product appeared on the shelves of Russian stores - Mikado wine. It is designed for lovers of weak alcoholic beverages, which value taste and aroma more than the amount of alcohol.
Product Description
Wine "Mikado" is a product manufactured under the brand of the same name. It was created at the enterprise "Crimean Wine House", located in one of the districts of Feodosia. Mikado wine is more like a drink, since in addition to natural wine it includes rectified ethyl alcohol, juice concentrate, dried fruit infusion and natural flavor. Together, they create a product with a rather sophisticated taste, pleasant aroma and a velvety, long aftertaste. To make the base, wines made from such popular grape varieties as Aligote, Sauvignon, Rkatsiteli, Riesling and Chardonnay are used. Wine "Mikado" is presented on the market in two positions: white and red. Color depends on those components that are added to the drink at the last stage (white plum, black currant and others).
The technology for making this wine is taken from ancient Japanese recipes. Adding berry and fruit infusions to the finished product led to an increase in its flavoring properties. This is the secret of Japanese winemakers.
Public opinion
How did customers perceive the new Mikado wine? You can hear different reviews about this product. Some argue that such a drink can not even be called wine. Its strength reaches no more than 11 percent. In their opinion, it is better to add some money and buy a really worthy product.
Others consider Mikado a very interesting and unusual wine. It has a pronounced color corresponding to the input additive. The taste is quite rich and very pleasant. In it, against the general grape background, notes of added berries stand out clearly. It is very unusual and at the same time pleasant. True, the shelf life of the product is a little confusing. It is only 4 months old. True, experts argue that in the case when the sediment has not yet precipitated in the bottle, the drink can be considered normal up to a year.
