Korean Rice Wine, known as Makgeolli, is a traditional alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. It has a milky appearance and a slightly sweet, tangy flavor. The fermentation process involves a combination of steamed rice, water, and a fermentation starter called nuruk, which contains natural enzymes and yeast. Makgeolli is often enjoyed in social settings and is typically served in bowls rather than glasses. It has a lower alcohol content compared to other wines, usually around 6-8%. This drink is not only popular in Korea but has also gained international recognition for its unique taste and health benefits.
