At present, with the improvement of people's consumption consciousness and living standard, health wine has been paid more and more attention, and its market scale is growing. Jin Jiu, Coconut Island Deer Turtle, Wolf Wine and other leading health wine enterprises have also been formed, and well-known brands in market segments such as hardman and Changyu have been recognized by people. So how did health wine develop?

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. In addition, wine can kill insects and drive away evil spirits. "Natural History" contains: Wang Su, Zhang Heng and Ma Jun swim in the fog in the morning. One drinks, one eats, and one is on an empty stomach. People who eat on an empty stomach die, people who are full are sick, and people who drink are healthy. This shows that "wine is more evil than food." 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 improvement of living standards, people's demand for health is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more ways to pursue health. As a brand-new term, health wine is gradually entering people's lives. In fact, health wine appeared as early as ancient times, but it was more recognized as "medicinal wine" at that time.

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.

Compared with medicinal liquor, although medicinal materials are added in the brewing process, the difference between them is very obvious.

Different kinds of health wine belong to the category of "beverage wine", and medicinal wine belongs to the category of "medicine";

Health wine with different functions is mainly used to regulate physiological functions, aiming at health care, health preservation and fitness, and satisfying consumers' hobbies. Medicinal liquor is mainly used to treat diseases and has its specific medical function;

Different health wines in production management departments are produced by food production enterprises, which are in charge of the food department. Unqualified products can be adjusted or recycled. Medicinal liquor is produced by pharmaceutical factory, which is in charge of drug supervision department. The product is unqualified and can only be scrapped.

The formula and quality are strictly examined and approved according to the formula of different medicinal liquor, and there is an internal quality standard with effective components as the index. The formula of general health wine does not need approval, and it is rarely stipulated to detect its internal functional components, but the third generation health wine requires clear functional factors;

There are no particularly strict age and gender restrictions for different people and objects, and the main users are healthy or sub-healthy people. Medicinal liquor is highly targeted to the applicable population, and the object of use is patients with diseases, which need to be taken under the prescription of doctors or under the guidance of professionals;

Health wine in different sales places is mainly sold in hotels, shopping malls, supermarkets and other general commodity sales places. Medicinal liquor is mainly sold in pharmacies or medical places.

In short, healthy or sub-healthy people drink health wine for health care; Sick people drink medicated wine to cure diseases.
