As the saying goes, "one summer is free from illness, and three points are empty." When beginning of autumn arrives, although the weather is cool in the morning and evening, there are still autumn tigers raging, so people are prone to fatigue, weakness and boredom. There is a folk custom of "autumn tonic". According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in traditional Chinese medicine, it is very necessary to supplement at this time. Compared with "stretching tendons", which claims that only four common parts of the whole body (elbow, hand, knee and foot) can expel toxins, remove the root of the disease, prevent and cure tumors and even cure all diseases, warm drinking handmade yellow wine is simpler, more reliable and more affordable, and it is the best choice for autumn health preservation.

As a national specialty in China, yellow rice wine is also one of the oldest liquors in the world. It is a comprehensive beverage wine containing 18 amino acids, which is rare in the world's nutritious wines, so yellow rice wine is also called "liquid bread".

"Chrysanthemum blossoms, drink yellow wine". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yellow rice wine is hot and bitter, and has therapeutic effects such as dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, warming spleen and stomach, moistening skin and eliminating dampness. Different from mechanized yellow rice wine, handmade yellow rice wine pays more attention to material selection and brewing season. Tapai, as the only one of the three leading enterprises of Shaoxing yellow rice wine with the largest output at present, is the leader of handmade yellow rice wine. Tapai inherited the traditional Shaoxing hand-made wine-making technology. Take the glutinous rice as raw material and take the water from the source of Jianhu Lake. The whole process is manually operated by experienced winemakers. After about 80 days of low-temperature fermentation, the wine can be produced in the next spring, so the wine is more fragrant and mellow. Because the brewing process follows the laws of nature, its nutritional value and health care function are more prominent.

It is cold in autumn and winter. Drinking yellow wine can warm the stomach and keep out the cold. At the same time, yellow rice wine is a low-alcohol brewed wine. It is not easy to get drunk after warming, which conforms to the modern healthy and leisure concept of slow eating, slow drinking and slow living. It is worth noting that warm drinking handmade yellow rice wine has the best health care effect.

The traditional drinking method of yellow rice wine is to put it in hot water or heat it away from the fire, and it is better to drink it at 35℃-45℃. In the blanching process of yellow rice wine, a very small amount of organic compounds such as methanol, aldehydes and ethers will be produced. These substances harmful to human health will volatilize with the increase of temperature, and at the same time, ethanol will volatilize, which will slightly reduce the concentration of wine, thus reducing the harm to the body. Warm yellow rice wine is more mellow, because ester aromatic substances transpiration with the increase of temperature, which warms people's stomach. Since ancient times, the medicinal value and nourishing value of yellow rice wine have always been respected by everyone, and many methods of processing traditional Chinese medicine and nourishing drugs with yellow rice wine have been used to this day. Compendium of Materia Medica has long recorded that yellow rice wine can be used as medicine, and Huangdi Neijing also thinks that introducing warm yellow rice wine in winter is very beneficial to people.

The Law of Asking about Dirty Qi says: "The lung governs autumn ... the lung converges, eats acid and harvests it urgently, supplements acid and stops diarrhea". It can be seen that sour taste converges lung qi, while pungent taste diverges and clears lung. It should be harvested in autumn. Try to eat less irritating products such as onions and ginger, and eat more sour fruits and vegetables. Therefore, when drinking Tapai yellow wine, you can choose dark plum as a match, which not only conforms to the concept, but also has the functions of nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, moistening lung and protecting liver.
