Red Date and Glutinous Rice Wine

Red Date and Glutinous Rice Wine

　　Red Date and Glutinous Rice Wine is a new variety developed in the early 1980s by the county distillery, which combined traditional folk brewing techniques with modern winemaking methods.

　　Made primarily from the famous Guanyang long jujubes and high-quality glutinous rice from northern Guangxi, Red Date and Glutinous Rice Wine has a low alcohol content (20 proof). It features the natural color of red dates, a richly fragrant aroma, a sweet and clean taste, and is highly nutritious. It aids digestion and strengthens the spleen, nourishes the lungs, relieves coughs, enriches the blood, benefits all five internal organs, treats deficiencies, and helps prevent cancer. Suitable for all ages, it became an instant favorite upon its release and quickly gained popularity both within and beyond the county.

　　Before 1987, due to limitations in equipment and other conditions, the annual production of Red Date and Glutinous Rice Wine was only about 3 tons. Afterward, with attention and support from the county Party committee and the county people's government, production increased, reaching a scale of 150 tons by 1990.
