Daughter red is a traditional Shaoxing wine. What is its origin?

Daughter Red is a famous wine in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. It is fermented with glutinous rice, brown sugar and other things. It is very cold in winter south of the Yangtze River. You can use this wine to keep warm. Why is this wine called Daughter Red instead of other names? What does this mean? Next, let's look at the reasons.

It is said that there was a tailor in Shaoxing whose wife was pregnant, which made him very happy. He thought he was a single biography for generations and must have a son. In order to welcome the arrival of his son, as soon as he was born, he invited his relatives to hold a wedding banquet and brew good wine in advance. It turned out that he was a daughter when he was born. Knowing that it was a daughter, the tailor was very angry and thought that her daughter was useless and there was no need to drink a wedding banquet.

What about the brewed wine? The tailor buried it under the osmanthus tree in his backyard. The daughter is getting older and older, and the tailor's craftsmanship is very good. His tailor business is getting better and better. The longer the daughter, the better. It's not bad for a tailor to have a daughter. He wants to marry her to his favorite apprentice. So, when I was a teenager, my daughter got married. On the wedding day, she had to throw a big banquet and drink a wedding banquet.

Suddenly, the tailor remembered that he had brewed several jars of old wine before the child was born more than ten years ago. As a result, he didn't drink it, because it was a girl, so he buried it under the osmanthus tree and dug it up later. As a result, this wine has been hidden for more than ten years, and it smells good when it is opened. It must be a good bottle of wine, and everyone will be full of praise after drinking it. Buried for more than ten years, my daughter got married and drank, and the color of the wine became a little purple, so it was called Daughter Red.
