Shaoxing wine is one of the most well-known pantry staples in a Chinese family’s kitchen. But it’s not just for cooking - the earthy, aromatic wine is the perfect drink to sip over lunch or celebrate life’s biggest milestones with. We visited one of the city’s oldest factories to find out how this iconic Chinese brew is made and enjoyed. This is the first episode of our Drink China series. In the coming weeks, we’ll go across the country to find out which drinks are best loved and why. Stay tuned!

The manager from Shaoxing wine lied outright, Talk about getting actual information from china lol,
If in a year they produce 200million liters of rice wine how is he producing 2million bottles a day? 200million divided by 365 gives 547945 liters per day, If you divide that by 2million bottles its 0.2739725 per bottle, Are his bottles 273ml each?

Excellent Video and very accurate! Unfortunately it’s hard to get good quality ones in the states. good quality Huang jiu needs to be drunk by a bowl and drunk slowly with food. And you can warm up it in winter before drinking. So more a family drinks vs. party or business drinks, which might explained why younger generations don’t drink it much.
