Although the initial drinking behavior of human beings can not be called health drinking, it is closely related to health. The original wine is made by natural fermentation of wild fruits collected by human beings under suitable conditions. Because many wild fruits have medicinal value, the original wine can be called natural "health wine", which has certain protection and promotion effects on human health.
There are many kinds of wine, and the taste and efficacy are similar. Generally speaking, wine is warm and pungent, which can dispel cold and pungent, so wine can dredge meridians, promote blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, warm yang and dispel cold, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and express feelings. Because wine is the essence of grain brewing, it can also benefit the stomach. The combination of wine and medicine is a great progress in drinking for health. The combination of wine and medicine produced a brand-new wine-health care wine. The main feature of health wine is that medicinal materials are added in the brewing process, which is mainly used for health preservation and fitness, and has the function of health care and physical fitness. Emphasis is placed on the compatibility of drugs, which can be divided into qi-invigorating, blood-enriching, yin-nourishing, yang-strengthening, qi-blood tonifying and other types according to their functions.
With the progress of mankind and the new development of medicine and pharmacy, people began to consciously brew medicinal liquor to achieve the purpose of health preservation and treatment. The combination of wine and medicine is a great progress of wine culture. Later generations have made new achievements in sorting out predecessors' experience and creating new formulas, which has made the preparation technology of medicinal liquor reach a higher level. But at this time, there is still no obvious difference between health wine and medicinal wine.
