"Since ancient times, the number of vinegar brewed in Shanxi, Shanxi vinegar brewed in Qingxu", Qingxu is the largest production base of old vinegar in China, and the output of vinegar exceeds 60% of Shanxi Province. Shuita is the largest vinegar enterprise in Qingxu, with an annual production capacity of 180,000 tons, ranking second in the country. However, the competition in Shanxi's vinegar industry is fierce, and the high production capacity of water towers cannot dominate the Shanxi aged vinegar market.
 
Handmade vinegar is quite common on the market, most brands of handmade vinegar follow the traditional brewing process, without adding preservatives, freshness agents, etc., but the handmade vinegar of the water tower is done more thoroughly, not only using the original solid-state fermentation method, but also in the fermentation process of pure manual turning, more able to master the vinegar fermentation process, the acidity of the vinegar is higher than the general vinegar, the total acid of the manual three-year-old vinegar is 6g/100ml, which is difficult to do for ordinary three-year aged vinegar.
 
Unfortunately, in addition to handmade vinegar, the acidity of other products of Shuita is insufficient, only reaching the average level of 4.5g/100ml of aged vinegar, which is also one of the reasons why Shuita is not as good as Ninghua Mansion and East Lake. In addition, most of the single products of the water tower contain preservatives, colorants and other food additives, but the amount of additives is within the scope of the national standard, which will not cause harm to the human body.
 
Shuita aged vinegar is mainly in large capacity, small bottles are also 200ml, and 1.4L, 2.3L large barrels are available, suitable for restaurants, paving, etc., the price is quite affordable, mostly within 20 yuan.
