Let's talk about the several types of rice wine
Rice wine, as a traditional Chinese brewing liquor, has a long history and a wide variety. According to the characteristics of brewing process, raw materials, region and flavor, rice wine can be divided into many types.
First of all, according to the brewing process, rice wine can be divided into traditional rice wine and new rice wine. Traditional rice wine follows the ancient brewing method, through natural fermentation, which makes the wine mellow and unique. On the basis of traditional technology, the new rice wine combines modern technology and carries out a series of process improvements, making the taste of rice wine more refreshing and more suitable for the taste of modern people.
Secondly, according to the different raw materials, rice wine can be divided into glutinous rice wine, millet rice wine, rice rice wine, millet rice wine, corn rice wine, etc. Due to the difference in raw materials, these rice wines also have their own flavors and textures. For example, glutinous rice wine is orange to dark brown in color, with a strong aroma and mellow taste; On the other hand, millet rice wine has a clear and transparent color and a refreshing taste.
In addition, rice wine can also be classified according to region. All parts of China have their own characteristics of rice wine, such as Shaoxing rice wine, Fujian rice wine, Shandong rice wine, etc. These regional rice wines, due to the influence of regional environment, climatic conditions, water quality and other factors, have formed their own unique flavors and characteristics.
Finally, according to the different flavors, rice wine can be divided into sweet rice wine, semi-sweet rice wine, dry rice wine and semi-dry rice wine. Sweet rice wine has a mellow taste and high sweetness; Semi-sweet rice wine has moderate sweetness and soft taste; Dry rice wine has a refreshing taste and low sweetness; Semi-dry rice wine is somewhere between dry and semi-sweet.
To sum up, there are many types of rice wine, each with its own characteristics. Whether it is traditional or new, no matter what kind of raw material, region or flavor, rice wine has become an important part of Chinese food culture with its unique charm.
