Dongtian Dairy Wine

Dongtian Dairy Wine

　　Dongtian Dairy Wine, commonly known as "Maoli Wine," is primarily made from kiwifruit. According to the traditional Taoist brewing techniques of Mount Qingcheng, the juice is extracted, sealed in jars, preserved with high sugar content, and fermented at low alcohol levels. The fermented juice is then blended with lees liquid, rock sugar, and a small amount of distilled liquor along with other auxiliary ingredients to produce the dairy wine. The wine has the color of jade and the consistency of milk, offering a rich, mellow, and refreshing taste with a long-lasting aftertaste. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu once praised the dairy wine in his poem: “Mountain-bottled dairy wine flows down from the blue clouds; its richly fragrant aroma is a treasured share. I spur my horse and wave my whip past fishermen—raising my cup, I share a toast with cavalry troops.”
