Persimmon Wine

Persimmon Wine

　　Also known as floral wine. In the past, it was commonly brewed in villages with dense persimmon groves in the eastern mountainous areas of Pinglu County. This wine is made from persimmons, where both raw and ripe persimmons are mashed and mixed with ground millet flour, then yeast is added, followed by fermentation and distillation. Brewing wine from persimmons has two major advantages: it does not use grain, and it has a lower alcohol content, which aligns with the development direction of the modern brewing industry. The persimmon wine brewed using traditional methods in the eastern mountainous region of Pinglu has a smooth taste and rich aroma, making it a historically renowned local specialty. Persimmon wine can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relieve coughing, and has certain therapeutic effects on rheumatism and back pain in the elderly.
