On the 25th anniversary of China's return to China, major media are busy looking for celebrities from all walks of life to interview, and Tang Yingnian is the one who makes many appearances in the political and economic circles.
There is no other reason. Tang Yingnian ("Tang Tang"), who was born in the business world, has served as Chief Secretary for Administration and Financial Secretary. He is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
In addition to the upcoming opening of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, Tang Tang, as the chairman of the board of directors of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, also attended the naming ceremony of the lecture hall in the museum earlier. Clouds come!"
Tang Yingnian is fond of Burgundy red wine, expressing that he welcomes more and more people to like the red wine from this producing area.

Xiaozhen also visited Tang Tang earlier, and asked Qu Dian to see the development of Hong Kong's 25th anniversary of the handover. During the period, she mentioned that government policies are very important to the promotion of the industry. It seems that Tang Tang abolished the wine tax when he was in office, which made Hong Kong become the largest wine auction center. .
Xiaozhen agreed very much, and took the opportunity to ask Xiaqu's "Red Wine Classic".
It is well known that Tang Tang likes the red wines from Burgundy (Burgundy) in the French wine-producing region, and it is even rarer that he "knows at a small time".
In recent years, Burgundy red wine has become very valuable. Christie’s recently auctioned a group of 12 bottles of 1999 DRC Romanée-Conti, which sold for 3 million yuan, with an average of about 250,000 yuan per bottle. It taught Xiaozhen that many people around him started drinking Burgundy red wine late. My friends are "screaming bitterly"!
However, he should be very happy about Tang Tang, who has a large collection of treasures, because he won't let others compete for expensive goods, Qu said with a smile, "I welcome more and more people to like Burgundy, because I have liked Burgundy for decades, and there are several models. Such a famous wine, I invite people to drink it for a few years, and the price keeps going up! I'm "chasing" the producer, and I tell him "Hey boss, I started buying it early, so the more I cut, the more (goods) first." have to"!"
Tang Tang said to himself that he has been drinking the famous wineries that everyone often drinks for decades!

Loving Burgundy red wine is "elegant"
Tang Tang told Xiaozhen that when he was young in the United States, he first learned to drink red wine. At first, he bought some affordable red wine in the supermarket and tried it slowly. Later, he tried Burgundy's red wine and fell in love with it.
"Because I like this kind of flavor, I like its floral fragrance, elegance, and balanced taste, and it is suitable for a group of friends to pour down verses, eat peanuts, potato chips, eat Chinese food, and eat Western food. It's not good. 'Leak', it's not that you have to eat steak to cooperate with him, but you can drink it any time!"
As a Burgundy expert, Tang Tang said to himself that he would not be stingy about sharing fine wines with friends.
"Everyone drinks from a few well-known wineries. I've been drinking it for decades, and my family can enjoy the old vintages, but they're well-stocked. Let's drink less Burgundy and friends. That's what it tastes like. It turns out that Burgundy is so 'fragile', and if there is a lot of trade (change hands), it won't be a good drink."
In 2013, the auction of "Tour of Taste: Tang Yingnian's Cellar Collection" sold a total of 48.05 million yuan, which was HK$18.35 million higher than its estimated value.

In 2013, the auction of red wine was made by a friend
Tang Tang has been collecting Burgundy red wine for many years, and the wine warehouse was full. In 2013, he took out some of the wine for auction. It turned out that it was not because of seeing the "business opportunity" of Burgundy, but because of a word from the wine cellar- ─ "Tang Sheng, you are drinking too much, so use it!"
Tang Tang explained that working in the government in the early years was "really difficult", and it was not business affairs, but red wine!
"Before, I didn't enter the government for a lot of social drinking, and I used a lot of wine. I bought a winery every day, and I bought more and more products all the way. But after I joined the government, I was very busy, and there was less social drinking. , I have less and less time to drink, and I always drink it when I go to work, and I provide alcohol for all occasions. Finally, I will send people around, such as drivers and hair stylists!"
It was not until he left the government in 2013 that Tang Tang had time to organize his inventory, so he teamed up with Christie's to hold an auction of "A Journey of Taste: Treasures from Tang Yingnian's Cellars".
In that year, 809 wines were sold for a total of 48.05 million yuan, which was HK$18.35 million higher than the estimated value.
When asked if he would ship it now while the price is high, Tang Tang shook his head and said with a smile, "If there are more people in the family, you can send it, the circle is much bigger than before!"
Tang Yingnian taught the way, if the budget is 3,000 yuan, don't just buy one bottle of wine, but buy 6, 8, or even 10 bottles.

Teach you a trick to "pick" red wine
Although he has a special liking for Burgundy's red wine, it does not mean that Tang Tang does not drink other red wines. The truth is that he will try new ones!
"I've tried a few Slovenia wines recently, and every one of them is good." Even the "Xinlijun" mainland red wines are welcome. China's technology is well mastered, there is no problem at all, it is the art that needs to be explored."
As for Xiaozhen, a novice who wants to learn to drink red wine, I hope Tang Tang recommends a few favorite waters, but Tang Tang is very apt to say, "It's not good to try wine, listen to me, everyone's taste is unique, I think good drinks are all good The right wine does not mean that people agree!" However, he has a tip for Xiaozhen, "If you budget to spend 3,000 mosquitoes, you will be very disappointed if you can't buy a bottle of wine. You go to the wine shop and tell the clerk. Buy 6, 8, or even 10, and ask for wines of different varieties, grapes, and countries. New Zealand, America, Bugundy, try them all!”
Until you try to know that you like the only wine, then lock down the wines in the area.
"For example, if you like Pinot noir, there are Pinot noir in many places, and then try again, you like Burgundy. Burgundy has many districts, many villages, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune. Remember not to buy Grand Cru, buy some village wine first. , a good winemaker, his Grand Cru is so famous, in fact, the village wine is good to drink, but the village wine is very expensive!”
