Why was liquor popular but wine in decline during the Ming Dynasty?

During the Ming Dynasty, liquor was popular because it made the drinker drunk easily and showed the arrogance of the drinker. It was very popular among people from all walks of life at that time.

Due to the widespread use of wine making, the Ming government no longer established an agency specifically in charge of wine affairs, and the wine tax was merged into the commercial tax.

According to the "History of Ming Dynasty? Food and Huo Zhi", wine is levied according to the standard of "all commercial taxes, one in thirty".

As a result, the development of distilled liquor and Shaoxing wine was greatly promoted.

In contrast, the development of wine has been affected as it has lost the support of preferential policies.
