　　Soaking Vat Wine is a traditional home-brewed liquor of the Yi people in southeastern Yunnan and has a long history. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, it had already become a staple drink used by the Yi people for worship, praying to deities, celebrating festivals, and hosting banquets. Having been passed down for over 1,700 years, the Yi people are a sun-worshipping and fire-worshipping ethnic group. From ancient times to the present, the “Fire Dragon Prince” has been regarded as a deity in the hearts of the Yi people. The Torch Festival is a grand ceremony for worshipping and praying for blessings, and it has since become a traditional festival of the Yi people. During the festival, people drink joyfully, and Soaking Vat Wine showcases the warm-hearted, bold, confident, and determined spirit of Yi men through hearty drinking from large bowls. Young men and women express their vision of a beautiful life under the moonlight through lively dances such as the “Moon Jump Dance” and the “Zuojiao Dance.” Today, we have developed Soaking Vat Wine into a commercial product for consumers, and we believe it will become a new highlight in everyone’s eyes.

　　The “Henggu” brand Soaking Vat Wine is uniquely brewed. It is made from carefully selected high-quality glutinous rice, fermented with a purely plant-based distiller's yeast, then soaked in the cold mountain spring water of deep winter, stored in earthen jars, and aged underground for a long period. Regular consumption of this wine helps stimulate appetite and invigorate the spleen, while also benefiting skin beauty and health. With low alcohol content and a pleasant taste, it is suitable for both young and old. It is truly a crystallization of the millennia-old wine culture of the Yi people in southeastern Yunnan.
