I have drunk many brands of rice wine, including Guyue Longshan, Shazhou Youhuang, Shanghai Japanese Wine, Shikumen, Jiujiu, Tower Pai, etc., but none of them made my mouth feel better. , I always felt that the taste was wrong, until a friend recommended Fangxian rice wine. I fell in love with it after drinking it once. It is slightly sweet in the mouth, slightly bitter in the mouth, full of mellow taste, and it tastes really good. I recommend it here. I always go to farmers in Fang County to buy. Someone sent me a private message asking me how to buy. It’s too troublesome to reply one by one. If you want to know more, you can click on the web link. There is a purchase entrance below, so you can contact me yourself.

As far as I know, Fangxian rice wine is a local rice wine. It is produced in Fangxian County, Hubei Province. It is not commercialized at present. The farmers I buy every time make it by hand, which is better than commercial wine. The serious brand rice wine is much more comfortable to drink together. Therefore, I personally think that rice wine with good taste must not be mass-produced by factories. Rice wine is an alcoholic beverage with a very rich history in China. The most traditional wine-making process is definitely among the people. If it is industrially processed by wineries, I can only say haha ??(personally) Opinion, don’t comment if you don’t like it)~~You can make an analogy about why rural pork tastes better than urban pork.

After reading the headlines, other drinking friends also introduced Fangxian Yellow Wine, but I felt that the introduction was not detailed, and it was rare to see what I was good at. Today I will give you a detailed introduction to Fangxian Yellow Wine. Interested friends, please read below:

Fangxian rice wine is a regional rice wine that is brewed by local farmers in Fangxian County. Therefore, the local people use the place name and the common name of the wine to form Fangxian County. As the name of rice wine, many people in Hubei Province know about this wine, and many people drink it. It is profitable. Then some wineries began to mass-produce it under the name of Fangxian rice wine. The actual taste produced by the winery is the same as that of Fangxian rice wine. There is still a big difference in the taste of the hand-made food made by rural people. This is why if you want to buy it, I personally do not recommend buying it on e-commerce websites such as Taobao and JD.com. I feel like if I talk too much, will I get beaten?

Okay, okay, now I will really introduce Fangxian rice wine to you:

I checked the historical data and found that Fangxian rice wine has a longer recorded history than Shaoxing. It goes without saying that rice wine has a long history dating back more than 400 years. However, there is no nationally famous benchmark company in the local area. There are many reasons for this. As a result, not many people except Hubei people know about such a good rice wine. In fact, it is a pity that time has passed.

The historical origin, drinking method and brewing method of Fangxian rice wine

1. The history of Fangxian rice wine (quoted by Baidu Encyclopedia, very verbose, if you don’t want to read it, just skip it) Part)

According to historical records, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC - 771 BC), people in Fang County had begun to have the art of brewing rice wine. The "Baimao" brewed from glutinous rice at that time became Fangxian rice wine.

During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, the King of Chu sent Yin Jifu from Fangling (the author of the Book of Songs of the Zhou Dynasty and a native of Fangxian County) as an envoy to pay tribute to King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. Rice wine) was presented to King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. The treasure was presented to the palace and the altar was filled with fragrance. King Zhou Xuan took a sip and praised its beauty, so he named it the royal wine of Fengjiang. He also sent people to pack the Baimao provided by Fangling every year into jars of different sizes, sealed the territory according to the Baimao, rewarded the princes, and appointed Yin Jifu as the Grand Master to support the government. Later, Yin Jifu became a generation of wise ministers who were able to govern the country with civility and peace with military force.

"The Book of Songs: There is Death in the Wild": "White Mao is pure rice, and there are women like jade." Imperata is a tribute from the south, so Imperata is the earliest name for Fangxian rice wine. Later, there were titles such as rice wine, imperial wine, and white horse urine.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, Fangling became a place of exile for emperors and generals of all dynasties. After arriving in Fangling, they all developed the habit of drinking rice wine.

During the Han Dynasty, Fangling Yellow Wine was widely popularized and became a funerary object for dignitaries. In 1974, a large number of wine utensils containing rice wine were found in a Han tomb unearthed in Qilihe, Fang County, and one of the large jars still contained rice wine from that time.

In the Tang Dynasty, rice wine became more popular. In the first year of Guangzhai (684), when Li Xian, son of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to Fangzhou as King of Luling by his mother Wu Zetian, he liked to drink this kind of wine the most. He was called a wine connoisseur. He once wrote a poem that this wine should only be There is it in the sky, but there is not enough in Yaochi and the Heavenly Palace. One day, the dragon will return to Chang'an and send 30,000 dendrobium couplets every year.

The King of Luling presented Fangling Yellow Wine as a tribute to Wu Zetian, so Fangxian Yellow Wine became known as the Imperial Wine and became famous all over the world, giving Fangxian Yellow Wine a royal flavor. In the first year of Shenlong (705), the king of Luling returned to the throne and designated Fangxian rice wine as a tribute wine. He paid tribute every year and came to the court every year. Zhongzong entertained all the civil and military officials with rice wine. After drinking, his eyes were clear and his mouth was filled with a strange fragrance. All the officials were amazed. One civil official impromptuly composed a poem and said: Fangzhou Divine Spring Water is a treasure on the royal table. It is a blessing to the emperor and makes all officials drunk. .
