Maotai
Maotai is regarded as the national wine and king of the Chinese spirits. A few cups of Maotai would relieve you from years of sorrow. No banquet in China is complete without toasts on this fiery liquor.
 
Made in the town of Maotai, Guizhou Province, it has a history of 2,100 years. The brewing techniques of Maotai are very complicated and unique. For years, the Maotai flavor has puzzled brewers from other cities. Distilleries in other parts of the country have invited the best distillers from the town of Maotai to be their advisers. The distillers did all they could, but each time the product turned out to be a failure. People say that the secret is a combination of right temperature, a misty climate and the water and soil of the town. The distillation process is especially adapted to the exceptional advantages of the natural environment. It can't be made anywhere else.
 
Fen Liquor
Produced in the Apricot Blossom Village in Fengyang County, Shanxi Province, Fen liquor is one of the eight famous Chinese wines in China.
 
Fen liquor has a history of more than 1,500 years. It is traditionally made from fine barley and peas. Fragrant and delicate with a lingering after-taste, it is also used to treat various diseases. The liquor does not settle or get muddy in storage; the longer it is preserved, the better the taste.
 
Bamboo-Leaf Green Liquor
Bamboo-leaf green liquor is another of the eight famous Chinese wines. It is made by immersing bamboo leaves and dozens of medicinal herbs, such as Chinese angelica and cap jasmine in Fen Liquor. The wine is pale green, translucent and fragrant. It has a reputation for improving health and treating such diseases as heart trouble, high blood pressure and arthritis.
 
Shaoxing Wine
Shaoxing Wine, also called Huang Jiu (yellow wine), produced in the town of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, is one of the best and mildest intoxicants made from glutonous rice and wheat. It has been known for its flavor and golden colour.

Dukang Wine
Dukang Wine bears the same name of its production site - Dukang village in Hennan Province, which has the charms of historical relics and the pureness of nature. The wine has been popular among the Chinese people for more than 2,500 years. It may not only arouse your deep-seated nostalgia for the ancient past, but also give you a natural enjoyment by relieving your anxiety. Dukang Wine is as good to health as it is to prolonging life.
