And when Wan Shaoling opened the bottle of '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet, a mellow fragrance immediately assaulted the senses, invigorating everyone around the coffee table.

Aged wine, fragrance overwhelming!

Every scion of wealth fixed their gaze on this fine wine with burning desire, for although they were children of riches, they were not yet so extravagant as to casually taste wines that cost a million US dollars per bottle.

Especially such a '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet, an extreme rarity, for even with money, it was difficult to come by.

Upon smelling this rich aroma, everyone couldn't help but involuntarily swallow, their mouths watering, nearly wishing that Wan Shaoling would immediately pour the wine and let them taste it.

Perhaps sensing their eager eyes, Wan Shaoling's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smugness flashing across his gentle face.

Then he took a tulip wine glass from the coffee table, tilted the bottle slightly, and a ribbon of purple-red slowly flowed into the glass.

Wan Shaoling's movements were exceptionally gentle, and as he poured, the rich aroma instantly peaked, wafting out in waves, making the crowd even more impatient.

When the wine reached one-third of the tulip wine glass, Wan Shaoling stopped, then held the glass with his palm, gave it a gentle shake, and the thick red wine left a charming trail on the glass wall.

"Everyone see? The more mellow the wine, the deeper its color, and the higher its viscosity. By the traces left on the glass wall, you can surely see how precious this '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet is!"

Wan Shaoling inhaled the rich fragrance and, with closed eyes, spoke to the people around him in a voice full of intoxication.

After seeing the thick purple-red stain on the glass wall, the crowd grew even more excited, their eyes hotly fixed on Wan Shaoling, hoping to be chosen as the taster.

"You, you, you, and you!"

Wan Shaoling then turned his gaze to the crowd and pointed his finger at four individuals:

"Among your families, some of you run chain bars or are in the alcohol business, so you should have a deeper understanding of the quality of wine! Let the four of you be the tasters!"

The four chosen by Wan Shaoling were three men and a woman. Their families might not compare with the Four Great Families, but they wielded considerable influence in Mingzhu City.

Furthermore, their family businesses were all related to liquor. Wan Shaoling's choice of them as tasters met with no objections from the others.

Upon being chosen, the three men and one woman were exceptionally excited, and the envious eyes of the others only added to their thrill.

Wan Shaoling then poured three more glasses of wine and handed them each to the four individuals.

The four were clearly connoisseurs of wine, and at that moment they examined the wine's color, sniffed its bouquet by their nose tips, and felt the full-bodied fragrance. After a gentle shake, observing the sticky stains along the glass wall, they each took a small sip, letting the wine coat their tongues and closed their eyes to savor the taste.

Watching the four with enraptured expressions, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but swallow again. None of these wealthy children didn't love fine wine, and after seeing the '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet, they lusted for it profoundly.

"Fantastic wine! Rich and refreshing. This red wine's flavor is definitely of 3A level, even internationally considered top-notch!"

One of the men, after relishing the wine's mellow taste, opened his eyes in ecstasy and gazed at the wine in his hand full of praise.

Not just him, the other two men likewise opened their eyes, their faces savoring the taste, appearing as if they couldn't get enough:

"I rate it 3A level too!"

"And me as well! This cup of wine is without a doubt 3A level!"

These two people were not only praising the richness of the wine but also had intentions of pleasing Wan Shaoling.

Hearing this, the others were not too surprised, as the '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet was considered a rare gem among wines, and the 3A classification wasn't inappropriate.

There are many categories and levels for classifying wine, but as for the taste and richness, they are generally divided into A, AA, AAA!

And any wine below A level was basically not considered fine wine!

After the three had given their assessment of the Royal Eagle Cabernet, all eyes turned towards the final young girl.

This girl was quite handsome, and her obsession with wine seemed particularly strong as she savored every nuance of the wine's flavor, her tongue moving delicately over her lips.

After a good while, the girl finally opened her eyes, admiration in her gaze but also a hint of disappointment.

"Aguo! How does this wine taste?" one of the young men asked the girl, while the rest looked on with expectation.

The girl named Aguo came from a family that was in the wine business, owning several wineries in Bordeaux, France.

It could be said that her words carried much more weight than the other three men's.

"The flavor of this wine is rich and supple, truly a rare good vintage. However, it has been stored for too short a time and tastes slightly astringent. It only just enters the AAA category. If it were stored for another twenty years or so, this bottle might reach the level of an Emperor's wine!"

Aguo's research on wine was clearly far superior to that of the three men, her words authoritative and well-founded at this moment.

Especially since the crowd, after hearing that the wine could possibly become Emperor Level, expressed admiration tinged with regret!

Once a fine wine is opened during storage, its quality declines significantly, and even if it is stored properly again, it would be difficult for it to become an Emperor's wine!

Nevertheless, the four of them uniformly rated the taste of the '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet as 3A.

Wan Shaoling and Qi Jian were clearly very pleased with the four's assessment; now, with a mischievously gleeful expression, they turned their gazes towards the bottle of counterfeit wine.

"Hehe... Ye Xiao! Shaoling's bottle of '92 Royal Eagle Cabernet has been appraised! Now, it's time for the fake wine you brought!"

Qi Jian's face was full of mischief as he spoke directly to Ye Feng.

It wasn't just him, everyone else's gaze shifted towards Ye Feng with peculiar interest at this point!

They knew that a 3A level fine wine was extremely rare on the international wine market, and they truly did not believe that a counterfeit could achieve such a rank.

What's more, they were even more interested in how Ye Feng would respond now!

Ye Feng's expression remained as calm as before, and upon hearing Qi Jian's words, he walked straight up to the bottle of fake wine, picked up the wooden stopper next to it to reseal it, and then began shaking it vigorously.

"Wine is like people, and people like wine! If you can misjudge a person, naturally, you can misjudge a wine as well!"
