Chapter 264 Balthazar Winery
The next day, when Chen Xi opened his eyes, he found Saori staring at him angrily. Thinking of the exciting things that happened last night, he smiled embarrassedly.

"You're awake."

"Look what you did last night."

In response to Chen Xi's morning greetings, Sazhi stretched out one arm angrily. The skin on it was a little discolored. It could be seen that she was bruised because she was twisted too hard behind her back last night.

Thinking of the scene on the lighthouse last night and the things they learned to do, Saori blushed. In the end, she even imitated Huang Rong and knelt there...

Thinking of that incident, I suddenly felt a dull pain in my throat.

She heard the conversation on the lighthouse clearly. Fortunately, Chen Xi didn't have that habit and didn't use his mobile phone to record it.

Chen Xi was very rude last night, which made her a little scared.

"Baby, I was wrong last night, but you forced so many oysters into my mouth..."

"You're blaming oysters for this. Look at my hair. You almost pulled it out." I didn't have much strength left at the end of last night, and Chen Xi dragged me by the head...

"Okay, okay. I thought you had the same good physique as Huang Rong..."

"Screw you!"

Saori kicked him and turned away.

The next second she felt pain in her waist, luckily a pair of big hands started massaging her, which made her calm down.

"I thought they weren't awake yet! It was like a singing competition was going on in every room last night."

"Why don't you get up? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking about. Your mind is full of that thing."

"Xiu Xiu, I am also a normal man."

"Just hold it in for now, and let's see how you perform in a few months."

"Ah? A few months? Oh my god."

At this time, the conversation between Sun Cheng and Gu Xinxiu was heard outside the door, making everyone in the room laugh.

The soundproofing in this house is so poor that you can hear every conversation.

After half an hour, everyone came out, and they all looked like they had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

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 from here. The winery is not small, about fifty acres. At first glance, it is full of green plants and full of vitality.

The winery also has its own olive grove.

Grapes in Australia usually mature from March to April, and olives from April to June, so they are no longer available at the moment.

The owner of the winery let everyone taste several of their wines, each with a unique flavor and taste. Tasting the wine and listening to the owner's explanation, everyone felt their love and persistence for wine.

Everyone also visited other facilities of the winery, such as the fermentation room, storage room, etc.

The equipment here costs about several hundred thousand Australian dollars, and the equipment for a small winery costs less than 200,000 Australian dollars.

"This wine is good, but it lacks fame. If it is packaged and sold domestically, it will probably be very popular." Liya took a glass of red wine and sipped it.

There were many brands and years of wine on the table, all of which were brought out by the winery owner for everyone to taste.

These are naturally included in the fee. You need to pay to visit here, and guests can also taste some wine. If the guests think the taste is good, they will buy some.

"This wine is rarely seen in places where wine is sold!" Ouyang Ming also echoed.

There are many convenience stores that sell alcohol in Australia, the most famous of which are Dan Murphy's and BWS. This is a chain of alcohol stores with many branches in Australia and a wide range of alcohol.

In Australia'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, blend and bottle wine and spirits.

Since its inception, Zhimei Group has insisted on quality as its core and provided the market with high-quality wine products.

As a 100% family-owned business, Zhimei Group's business covers multiple beverage markets at home and abroad, with multiple subsidiaries including Edgemill, AWP, AGDA and others.

These branches each assume different responsibilities and jointly promote the steady development of the group.

Edgemill is one of the core members of Zhimei Group, focusing on the sales of domestic wines and spirits. With rich market experience and a professional sales team, Edgemill always maintains close contact with consumers, deeply understands market demand, 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 delivers high-quality wine to various sales channels with its extensive distribution network and high-quality customer service to meet the diverse needs of the market.

AGDA is responsible for the blending, testing, warehousing and contract packaging of Zhimei Group. As one of the core competitiveness of the group, 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 family business model, Zhimei Group has fully utilized the cohesion among family members and their 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 is, the better it is, but this is not true.

The quality of wine does not only depend on its year, but is more closely related to the quality of the grapes in the production year.

Life cycle: Wine, like humans, has its own unique life cycle. This cycle starts from the youth stage, goes through maturity, and finally enters the aging stage. Each stage has its own unique characteristics and the best time to drink it.

Ideal Drinking Period: Most wines are at their best when they are aged between 5 and 10 years. Once this period is exceeded, the wine may begin to decline and its taste and flavor may gradually weaken.

Aging potential: Not all wines have the ability to age. Some wines can be stored for a long time under the right conditions, but this does not mean that they will get better with time. On the contrary, even high-quality wines may lose their original characteristics if stored for too long.

Grape quality: The quality of grapes is crucial to the wine. If the climatic conditions in a particular year are favorable, the quality of the grapes will usually be better, thus producing higher quality wine.

Price and storage potential: The vintage of a wine often affects its price. However, for everyday table wines, their aging potential is limited and they should be consumed as soon as possible to experience the best flavor.

Different types of wine: Fresh and aged wines have different optimal drinking periods. Fresh wines are best consumed within 5 years, while aged wines reach their best condition between 5 and 10 years.

In the TV dramas I watched before, a bottle of wine would go bad if left for decades. I didn’t know what the director was thinking.

When it comes to Australia’s most famous red wine, people will naturally think of Penfolds.

Penfolds was founded in 1844 and owns many classic products including Penfolds Grange, Yatana, Bin 707, Bin 407, Bin 389, Bin98 and so on.

The wine in front of me 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 unpretentious.

He firmly believes that truly good wine does not need a high price to set it off, but should win the favor of consumers through its quality and taste.

Therefore, he sells his wine at an affordable price so that more people can taste his carefully brewed works. There are also many craft beer producers near the Great Ocean Road, and the locals like to drink those craft beers, so the boss's red wine can only be sold to other areas.

Soon, Liya started discussing the purchase of goods with the boss. Fang Lin also wanted to do the red wine business, and he would occasionally interject with Ouyang Ming.

Chen Xi tilted his head and looked at Huang Rong who was doing nothing. This woman looked very quiet on the surface, but he didn't expect that she played so wildly on the lighthouse last night.

"What are you looking at? Are you still thinking about what happened last night? I guess you've seen everything about her." Saori pulled him aside and whispered.

"No way, the lighthouse is so high, and the visibility is poor at night..."

"Come on! You were so rough last night that I got bruises all over my body and my throat still hurts."

"I'm sorry, I won't do that again next time."

"Actually...it doesn't matter...I'll think about it next time...although it's a little..."

"You little elf."

"Didn't you say you liked S?"

"..."

Chen Xi was left speechless by Saori's words and felt a little embarrassed. Then he looked at Huang Rong's serious expression.

Thinking of Saori imitating the other person's moves last night, he became excited again.

Last night under the lighthouse, he imitated Fang Lin's behavior and lifted Saori up... Now his arms are a little sore.

"This wine is really cheap, and the quantity is not small."

"That's right. I'll take 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 have Ouyang Ming open a convenience store selling liquor locally, and then transport the liquor to sell in the country.

I don't know if she saw that Ouyang Ming wanted to return to China after graduation, and tied him to Australia by using some assets. 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. Being wealthy, he didn't think too much about it. He directly went to his boss to order a bunch of wine, intending to ship it back to the country, package it, and sell it to his acquaintances.

Cherry picked out a few bottles of more expensive wine and wanted to give them to her father when she got back. Chenxu thought he was a good son-in-law to her, so he nodded and agreed readily.

Chen Xi shook his head, feeling that Cherry was taking advantage of him, but looking at the time, they broke up almost before graduation, so there was no need to say anything now.

"Or, I'll buy some wine for your dad as a gift." Saori said, holding a bottle of red wine that was considered pretty good here.

"Come on, my dad doesn't drink." Chen Xi waved his hand. His father was a person who didn't smoke or drink.

"Have you introduced me to your family?"

"Not yet... I'll find a chance later. By the way, does your dad drink? I'll buy him a few bottles."

Faced with this question, Chen Xi immediately changed the subject.

"There's plenty of wine at home, so don't waste your money. But you can have a drink with him in person when you have time."

"I don't even speak Sakura language."

"He can speak English..."

Saori tried her best to introduce her father to him. Chen Xi's mind was full of scenes from the TV series. He went to Sakura Country to propose marriage, Saori's father was an old stubborn man, and for some reason, the two of them had a big fight...

"What are you thinking about?" Saori shook him who was in a daze.

"Ah? Is your father easy to get along with?" Chen Xi asked stupidly.

"It's okay, hehe~ Look how scared you are."

"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 hall. The owner of the hall was a big man with a face full of flesh, shouting: "Don't even think about marrying my daughter!"

"What are you doing with my phone?"

"Hurry and delete last night's video."

"Since you didn't resist last night, I assumed you were willing to take the photo."

"You were so strong last night, how could I resist..."

"Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to know? I won't delete the video. Forget it."

In the corner, the two were arguing. Huang Rong's face turned red with anger, while Fang Lin put his hands in his pockets, tightly holding the phone.

He has that kind of hobby, he likes to take pictures of some weird things, every girlfriend he has dated has been photographed, and he often takes out those videos to share with his friends.

If he were a male friend, he would definitely think that this brother is nice and worth getting along with!

But those ex-girlfriends were all very uncomfortable. They didn’t care when they were filming, but after breaking up, they felt like they were being admired like the female stars in the porn movies.

"What? You want to take a photo too?" Saori, who overheard the conversation, pinched Chen Xi.

"I don't have that kind of fetish! But you, do you remember what happened before we started dating? You took a picture of me at your house."

"It's just to tie you down!" When the past was mentioned, Saori's pretty face immediately blushed. Thinking about the ugly things she had done in the past, she couldn't even raise her head. It seemed that she was no different from Fang Lin.

Thinking back to the rough treatment she received from the other party yesterday, she felt both excited and scared, a mixture of pain and joy.

I seem to be a little perverted. Damn Chen Xi, you must have mistaken me for Huang Rong last night.

When Saori thought of this, her eyes involuntarily glanced at the girl not far away. The rose tattooed on her calf added a touch of wildness to her originally quiet appearance.

On the way back, a few of them had a meal in Geelong, which is a slightly larger city nearby and has a branch campus of Didi University. It is much more prosperous than the nearby towns.
