The invention discloses a method for reducing the methanol content in liquor, and belongs to the technical field of vintage. The method uses ultrasound to assist accumulation of raw materials, a 4A molecular sieve and activated carbon in the fermentation stage are used as additives for reducing the methanol content in the fermentation, ultrasonic waves have mechanical, heat and cavitation effects,destroy cell walls of raw materials, and accelerate the rate of decomposition of raw material pectin substances into methanol, thereby removing the methanol to achieve the purpose of reducing the methanol content, the ultrasonic waves also have the function of promoting dissolution, during the dipping process, the efficiency of removing impurities such as soluble pectin substances, tannin, cyanide and the like is improved, the raw materials after ultrasonic treatment are more likely to swell during the dipping process, favorable conditions for both saccharification and fermentation are created, the methanol content is fundamentally reduced during the vintage process, and traditional material accumulation time is shortened; the method has the advantages of being hygienic, healthy, environmentally friendly and non-polluting, and the added activated carbon has the effect of aging the liquor.
