METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF STRONG DRINK Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C12G1/00 C12G3/07 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: one combines coupage preparation and separate thermal treatment of its components - alcohol distillates matured in contact with oak wood, softened water and sugar syrup. At the beginning the alcohol distillates and sugar syrup are mixed in a ratio to provide for the required conditions in terms of sugar content in the finished coupage after adding softened water. The obtained mixture is cooled down to -6 - -15°C, saturated with oxygen to an excess pressure of 0.05-0.2 MPa, kept at that temperature for 5-10 days and filtered at the cooling temperature. Then softened water is heated till cavitation bubbles production and mixed with the cooled filtered mixture of distillate and sugar syrup. After that one conditions it to environmental temperature, filters it and sends it for post-blending rest. The alcohol distillates are represented by cognac alcohol or grape crude alcohol, or grain alcohol, or a mixture of the specified alcohols.

EFFECT: improvement of efficiency of coupage treatment, acceleration of assimilation of coupage volatile and nonvolatile components, intensification of oxidation-reduction processes of maturing, post-blending rest process reduction with simultaneous improvement of the drink quality.
