Chinese Rice Wine is a traditional alcoholic beverage made from fermented glutinous rice. It is often enjoyed during celebrations and festivals, and it plays a significant role in Chinese culture. The fermentation process involves the use of specific molds and yeasts, which convert the starches in rice into sugars and then into alcohol. There are various types of Chinese Rice Wine, with Shaoxing wine being one of the most famous. It is typically amber in color and has a rich, complex flavor. Chinese Rice Wine is commonly used in cooking, adding depth to dishes, and is also served as a drink during meals.
