1. Rich in amino acids: In addition to ethanol and water, Huangjiu also contains 18 types of amino acids, of which 8 are essential and cannot be synthesized by the human body. The content of these 8 amino acids in yellow wine is several times higher than that in beer and wine of the same amount

2. Easy to digest: Huangjiu contains many easily digestible nutrients by the human body, such as dextrin, maltose, glucose, lipids, glycerol, higher alcohols, vitamins, and organic acids. These ingredients, after storage, ultimately make Huangjiu a low alcohol beverage with extremely high nutritional value

Drinking Huangjiu in winter can promote blood circulation, dispel cold, unblock meridians and collaterals, effectively resist cold stimulation, and prevent colds. Moderate and regular drinking can help with blood circulation, promote metabolism, and nourish blood and skin<4. Beauty and anti-aging: Huangjiu is a good source of B vitamins, including vitamin B1 B2、 Niacin and vitamin E are both abundant, and long-term consumption is beneficial for beauty and anti-aging

Nanfeng Huangjiu is made from glutinous rice, wheat, and japonica rice produced in the Langchuan River Basin, carefully brewed using traditional techniques. The Huangjiu is clear and transparent, with an amber luster, and has the characteristics of mellow taste, fresh sweetness, refreshing taste, and harmonious body

1. Color: Authentic yellow wine presents different colors such as brown, brown, etc. Due to the different raw materials, koji, and brewing processes used, yellow wine will present numerous colors. From the perspective of color, it is only possible to distinguish whether it belongs to yellow wine, and there is not much significance in identifying the quality of yellow wine

2. Suspended solids. For a bottle of Huangjiu original liquid, the liquid should be transparent, with no suspended solids or a small amount of suspended solids, but should not be cloudy or unclear. For yellow wine with distiller's grains, it is normal for the wine to become cloudy. You can let the yellow wine stand for a period of time. If there is clear yellow wine on the surface, it is good yellow wine

3. Viscosity: Due to the production of numerous nutrients and sugars during the fermentation process of Huangjiu, Huangjiu has a sticky feeling after sticking to the hands, while blended fake Huangjiu does not have this texture

4. Odor: Pure yellow wine has a grain like taste, with a mild alcohol flavor and no other unpleasant odors. Most blended Huangjiu has a strong alcoholic and sweet taste, among other flavors<5. Price: The price of pure yellow wine is generally around 15 yuan/jin, and those with a low price may belong to blended yellow wine<6. Wine lees. For handmade yellow wine with wine lees, wine lees can be used to easily judge the quality of the yellow wine. The wine lees of yellow wine should be consistent with the color of the yellow wine. Nowadays, many manufacturers use steamed millet or glutinous rice to ferment and add pigments to make yellow wine, rather than the traditional boiled color. The wine lees should contain wheat residues because the wheat in the Daqu of yellow wine is left behind after fermentation. In addition, the distiller's grains should be soft and able to be squeezed dry to fully ferment<63

8. Heating. Generally, traditional brewed yellow wine will have a better mouthfeel when consumed with a slight heat, while fake yellow wine does not have this characteristic of yellow wine
