　　Method of brewing schisandra wine: The freshly picked berries are first rinsed with water, then soaked in highland barley wine. A suitable amount of rock sugar may be added to enhance the flavor, resulting in a sweet-and-sour tasting schisandra wine.

　　Schisandra wine has various health benefits, including replenishing qi and promoting body fluids, activating blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and regulating blood pressure.
