Jin Jiu can't drink if it's overdue and hasn't been opened. From the point of view of wineries, Jin Jiu can be marked with no shelf life, because it is above 30 degrees. However, Jin Jiu is also a health wine, which belongs to the approval of health food. In the approval of health food, it is stipulated that the shelf life of the product is -3 years, so Jin Jiu will naturally mark it as 3 years.

Compared with common liquor, health wine contains a variety of Chinese herbal ingredients, depending on the medicinal properties of specific medicinal materials. Some health wines may deteriorate or have a shorter shelf life due to mixing with other ingredients. Chinese herbal medicines such as Chinese yam, medlar, epimedium, astragalus root and angelica are added to Jin Jiu. If the shelf life is over, harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and pathogenic bacteria in wine will exceed the standard, which will affect health.
