Introduction to Maling Huangjiu

Maling Huangjiu is a traditional Han liquor with a long history. The "Qingyang County Annals" records: "In November, during the Winter Solstice Festival, the ancestors are worshipped. Water is drawn and frozen to make Spring Equinox wine." It also records: "On the eighth day of December, water is taken to make wine, called La wine." Whether it is "Spring Equinox wine" or "La wine," it is both yellow wine. Huangjiu is usually served in winter, especially before the Spring Festival, and almost every household wears it. But the quality of yellow wine made in various places within the county varies, and compared to the yellow wine from Maling, it is the best. The production area of Maling Huangjiu is centered around Maling Town, extending southward to Fucheng and northward to Quzi Town in Huan County. The yellow rice wine produced on this land has great strength (high alcohol), some can be ignited by fire, and can also be stored as long as Baijiu. Someone bottled Ma Ling's homemade yellow wine in an empty bottle during the winter of 1984, and it has been stored until now. After 20 years, the taste of the wine is still strong, which can be described as a miracle

Unlike Baijiu made by distillation technology, naturally fermented yellow rice wine has the effects of promoting blood circulation and collaterals, nourishing yin and beauty, eliminating cold and promoting menstruation, and prolonging life. Long term drinking yellow rice wine can improve blood circulation and promote metabolism

Maling Huangjiu has a bright color, like amber; The taste is bitter yet sweet, with a moderate sweetness and sourness; Both astringent and spicy, with a rich aroma; Rich and refreshing, with a long-lasting aftertaste

Respectful to you, a cup of Maling wine, back and forth a few times

The distant guest was drunk and confused, and the water quality here was exceptionally good

The bottom cushion layer of the tank is made of clean straw, which serves as a filter. Fill the fermented wine with some clean straw on top. Raise the cylinder, plug the mouth of the bamboo tube, and then inject water into the cylinder. After soaking for a period of time, remove the bamboo tube plug, and the wine will flow into the lower basin
