Every early spring, local farmers get ready to plow and rake, and begin to cultivate the land carefully. After a period of deep ploughing, the land became soft; Then apply local sheep manure to make the land conditions for the growth of millet reach the best; In particular, sheep manure stored for a winter is added with other elements to make it more nutritious and promote the fertility of the land.

Therefore, the millet grown on this land is completely different from other places; At the same time, the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus of these millet are far higher than those of wheat, corn and other crops; With such excellent raw materials and careful brewing process, the brewed yellow wine naturally has a warm but not strong taste, which is sweet and moistens the throat, and also helps to drive away the cold and keep warm; Very popular with local people, and gradually sought after by rice wine lovers all over the country.

After a period of brewing, you can taste the taste of millet wine outside the jar.

In northern Shaanxi, millet wine is not only a lubricant for family to strengthen emotional communication, but also the best gift for visiting relatives and friends and giving gifts to others on holidays.
