　　Shangqing Wine

　　Shangqing Wine is a new product in the sugar-reduced rice wine series produced by Taining Jinhu Winery Co., Ltd. using advanced technology. It is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from glutinous rice with the addition of wheat koji and yeast, undergoing simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. Commonly known as “rice wine,” there is a popular Chinese saying that goes, “Rice wine is the essence of grain — the more you drink, the younger you feel,” and also, “Ginseng builds qi, while rice wine nourishes the body.”

　　Shangqing Wine boasts a rich aroma, mellow taste, and high nutritional value. It retains nutrients produced during fermentation such as glucose, acetic acid, and minerals. Its nutritional components mainly consist of low-molecular sugars and various vitamins, with amino acids present in an extractable form that is easily absorbed by the human body. It contains over ten types of amino acids, eight of which are essential and cannot be synthesized by the human body. The lysine content per liter of this rice wine is several times higher than that of wine or beer, a level rarely seen in other nutritious alcoholic beverages worldwide. As a result, it is often referred to as “liquid cake.”

　　Shangqing Wine has functions such as nourishing qi and blood, supporting liver and kidney health, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and promoting blood circulation. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen listed over 70 types of medicinal wines in his Compendium of Materia Medica, ranking rice wine at the top — a testament to its remarkable efficacy. Among the people of Taiwan, it is also common to drink rice wine mixed with green tea during winter as a tonic to ward off the cold and promote wellness. Shangqing Wine is an unadulterated, naturally fermented beverage crafted using modern techniques. No food additives are added during the brewing process. It features natural sweetness and alcohol content, making it 100% a green food product.
