Baijiu is a traditional Chinese distilled spirit, known for its high alcohol content, typically ranging from 40% to 60%. It is made from fermented grains, primarily sorghum, but can also include rice, wheat, and barley. The production process involves multiple fermentation and distillation steps, resulting in a strong and aromatic beverage that varies in flavor depending on the region and ingredients used. Often enjoyed during celebrations and banquets, baijiu is an integral part of Chinese culture. It is typically served in small glasses and consumed in a single gulp. The drink is often paired with food, enhancing the dining experience and fostering social connections among friends and family.
