Hundred Flowers Wine

Hundred Flowers Wine

　　Hundred Flowers Wine is a famous specialty liquor from Zhenjiang, known for its complex flavors that include sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy notes. It is brewed using glutinous rice, finely crafted wheat-based koji, and nearly a hundred varieties of wildflowers.

　　　　The wine has a deep yellow hue, a fragrant aroma, and a richly aromatic taste. With a relatively high sugar content and low alcohol level, it helps to invigorate blood circulation, nourish vitality, warm the stomach, and ward off cold. It is considered a tonic particularly suited for the elderly.

　　　　In 1909, it was awarded a Certificate of Merit and a gold medal at the prestigious International Nanyang Industrial Exposition and the Panama Exposition. During the late Qing Dynasty, it was listed as an imperial tribute.
