Bamboo Tube Wine

Bamboo Tube Wine

　　Bamboo Tube Wine is a traditional beverage loved by the Dulong people of all ages. It is also used as an engagement gift during matchmaking between young men and women, and as a celebratory drink during major festivals. To make Bamboo Tube Wine, the best bamboo from the mountain forests is first selected to craft the wine tubes, after which cooked wheat, rice, or sorghum mixed with brewing liquor is placed inside the bamboo tubes. The mixture is then left to ferment for seven days before the wine is ready. When the bamboo lid is opened, the rich aroma of the wine wafts out, intoxicating and delightful—creating a sensation where one feels drunk even before taking a sip.
