Huizhou Jia Wine

Huizhou Jia Wine

　　A historic famous liquor. Also known as "Jia Wine." Brewed from glutinous rice, about 80–100 pounds of liquor can be produced from 100 pounds of glutinous rice. The wine has a slightly yellow, clear color, an enticing aroma, and a mildly sweet taste that becomes richer and more robust when served warm. The longer it ages, the more mellow it becomes. In the novel *Flowers in the Mirror*, when characters discuss liquors, they list famous wines from across the country, among which is "Huizhou Jia Wine." A line from the Qing-era poem *Xin’an Bamboo Branch Lyrics* also reads: “Gathering friends with money to buy Jia Wine.” (Huangshan)
