Mojiang Purple Rice Sealed Jar Wine

  A sweet wine product developed by Mojiang Distillery in the mid-1980s, it quickly gained widespread popularity and acclaim upon its release. These sweet wines include Purple Rice Sealed Jar Wine, Papaya Wine, Olive Wine, and Cherry Sherry Liqueur. The Purple Rice Sealed Jar Wine is meticulously brewed using purple rice, a specialty of Mojiang on the Tropic of Cancer. The wine has a golden-orange hue, a rich aroma, high quality, delicious taste, is rich in nutrients, and has a low alcohol content—suitable for both men and women, young and old. The product enjoys a high reputation both domestically and internationally, including in Japan and the United States. In 1989, it was awarded the “Silver Cup Prize” as an outstanding product by China's Ministry of Commerce. On March 20, 1988, Mr. Sato from Sato Co., Ltd. in Japan visited Mojiang, tasted the Purple Rice Sealed Jar Wine, and wrote with enthusiasm: “I believe this is the best wine. Japanese women would love to drink this wine.” Papaya Wine and Olive Wine are made from wild berries—papaya and olives—grown in Mojiang. The wines have a mellow flavor and a refreshing, soothing effect on the throat. In 1988, they won the “Silver Award” at the National Expo, and in 1990, they received the Silver Award at the 40th Anniversary Expo of Women’s and Children’s Products in China. In August 1986, His Royal Highness Prince Philip of the United Kingdom, during his stay at Simao Hotel, tasted the Olive Wine and gave it two thumbs up, repeatedly praising it as “Great wine, great wine!” Back in Kunming, he still couldn’t get enough and sought out more Olive Wine, even taking some back to the UK. The Cherry Sherry Liqueur is made primarily from a rare wild plant found deep in the mountain jungles. The wine has a natural agate-red color, is crystal clear, and has an unforgettable aftertaste. With an alcohol content of 18%, it is suitable for all ages. It contains various vitamins and trace elements, offering benefits such as soothing the liver, regulating qi, nourishing the stomach, reducing inflammation and detoxifying, calming the mind, enriching blood, and tonifying kidneys. It also has certain anti-cancer properties. In 1986, it was awarded the title of Provincial Premium Product. The “Tianxi Brand” Purple Rice Sealed Jar Wine produced by Mojiang Distillery won the Gold Award at the Paris International Famous Wines Competition in 1992 and the Special Gold Award at the Panama International Food Expo in 1994.
