Generally, high-alcohol is needed to brew medicinal liquor, but when we brew some fruit wines, such as bayberry wine, mulberry wine and strawberry wine, medium and low-alcohol wines are also possible, but the degree should not be too low, and it is appropriate to have more than 35 degrees.

Because fruit contains a lot of water, if the degree is too low, the degree of brewed fruit wine is too low, so when brewing fruit wine, please decide according to local drinking habits. In addition, if the degree is too low, you can't soak the nutrients of the fruit.

For some medicinal materials, soaking in wine is indeed a good choice, especially high-alcohol liquor, which has high alcohol content, and is better for extracting effective components from medicinal materials and is more conducive to exerting the medicinal effects of medicinal materials. However, for patients with "three highs", we should first consider the harm of drinking to the "three highs" problem, and then the problem of conditioning the body.

It is best to soak Lycium barbarum with wine of about 50 degrees. Too low alcohol concentration is not conducive to the dissolution of effective components in Chinese herbal medicines, while too high alcohol concentration sometimes makes a small amount of water in Chinese herbal medicines absorbed, making the medicinal materials hard and the effective components difficult to dissolve. Low-alcohol liquor, yellow wine, rice wine or fruit wine can also be used for people who are not good at drinking or who can't drink because of illness, but the extraction time should be appropriately extended or the reflux times should be appropriately increased to ensure the effective components in the medicine.
