I have tried many brands of yellow rice wine, such as Gu Yue Long Shan, Sha Zhou Huang You, Shanghai River Wine, Shikumen, Tapai and Huijishan. But I don't know why I didn't like it all the time, and I always felt that the taste was wrong until my friend recommended Fangxian rice wine. I liked it after drinking it once. It's a little sweet, a little bitter, full of fragrance and really delicious. Recommended here. After writing this answer, many drinkers contacted me in private letters, and I announced it. WeChat official account pays attention to "Fangxian Tucheng Yellow Rice Wine" and you can find farmers who buy my wine. If necessary, contact yourself!
As far as I know, Fangxian yellow rice wine is a local yellow rice wine, which is produced in Fangxian County, Hubei Province. It has not been commercialized yet. Every time I buy farmers, they are handmade, which is much more comfortable than the brand yellow rice wine with serious commercialization. Therefore, personally, I think that rice wine with good taste must not be mass-produced by the factory. Yellow rice wine is a kind of liquor with a very heavy history in China, and the most traditional brewing technology is definitely in the folk. I can only say that it is industrialized by the winery. You can compare why rural pork is more delicious than urban pork.
After reading the headlines, other drinkers also introduced Fangxian rice wine, but I feel that the introduction is not detailed and I rarely see the problems I am good at. Today, I will introduce Fangxian yellow rice wine to you in detail. Interested friends, please look down:
Fangxian yellow rice wine is a kind of regional yellow rice wine, which is brewed by local farmers in Fangxian. Therefore, the local people commonly call it Fangxian yellow rice wine. This wine is known to many people in Hubei Province and is profitable. Then some wineries started mass production in the name of Fangxian yellow rice wine. The taste produced by the actual winery is quite different from that made by the rural people themselves. This is also because if you buy it, it is not recommended that you go to Taobao or Taobao. I think I've said too much. Will I be beaten?
Ok, ok, next, I really, really want to introduce Fangxian rice wine to you:
I checked the historical data. The recorded history of Fangxian yellow rice wine is more than 400 years earlier than Shaoxing yellow rice wine. Needless to say, it has a long history, but there are no well-known benchmark enterprises in the country. There are many reasons why rice wine is so good. Not many people know about it except Hubei people. Actually, it's a pity.
The Historical Origin, Drinking Method and Brewing Method of Fangxian Yellow Rice Wine
1. History of Fangxian Yellow Rice Wine (cited by Baidu Encyclopedia, elegant, skip the next part if you don't want to see it)
According to historical records, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-77 1 years ago), people in Fangxian county had already started brewing yellow wine. At that time, the "white grass" brewed with glutinous rice was the later Fangxian yellow rice wine.
In Zhou Xuanwang, the King of Chu School (the author of The Book of Songs in Zhou Dynasty, a native of Fangxian County) paid tribute to Zhou Xuanwang as an envoy. Yin Jifu brought an altar of cogongrass (yellow wine) produced by Fangling people to Zhou Xuanwang, and the treasures were filled with incense in the temple. Zhou Xuanwang tasted it and praised its beauty, so he was made the royal wine of the court. He also sent people to repackage the generals provided by Fang Ling in jars of different sizes every year, rewarded the governors according to the general's government, and appointed Yin Jifu as a surname to assist in state affairs. Later, Yin Jifu became a generation of wise ministers, who were able to govern the country with literary skills and maintain peace with military power.
The Book of Songs: "White grass is pure rice, and there are women like jade". Imperata is a tribute from the south, so it is the earliest title of rice wine in Fangxian County. Later, there were titles such as yellow rice wine, royal wine and white horse urine.
After Qin Shihuang unified China, Fangling became the exile place of emperors and generals in past dynasties, and they all formed the habit of drinking yellow wine after arriving at Fangling.
In the Han Dynasty, Fangling yellow rice wine was widely popularized and became a funerary object for dignitaries. 1974, a large number of wine vessels containing yellow wine were found in the Han tombs unearthed in Qilihe, Fangxian County, and one of the big jars still contained yellow wine at that time.
In the Tang Dynasty, yellow rice wine was more popular. In the first year of Guangzhai (684), when Li Xian, the son of Tang Zhongzong, was demoted by his mother Wu Zetian to Zhou Fang as the king of Luling, he liked this wine best and was called the wine taster. He once wrote a poem, saying that this wine should only be found in the sky, and Yaochi Heaven is boundless. One day, he will drive back to Chang 'an and send 30 thousand a year. King Luling presented Fangling yellow wine as a tribute to Wu Zetian, so Fangxian yellow wine became famous all over the world, giving it a royal flavor. In the first year of Shenlong (705), Wang Guan in Luling was restored, and Fangxian yellow wine was used as a tribute every year. Zhongzong feasted on the officials of civil and military affairs with yellow wine. After drinking, the eyes were clear and the mouth was full of strange fragrance, and the officials were amazed again and again. A civil servant improvised a poem and said, "The spring water in Zhou Fang is a treasure on the royal table, blessed by the son of heaven, which intoxicated the ministers."
