Attachment: The origin of "Daughter Red"

The famous Shaoxing "Huadiao wine" is also called "Daughter wine". People in Shangyu, China recorded in "Southern Vegetation": "Daughter wine, in the old society, it was essential for rich families to have daughters and marry them." Speaking of this name, there is another story!

Once upon a time, there was a tailor in Shaoxing who wanted a son when he got married. One day, he found that his wife was pregnant. He was so happy that he rushed home excitedly, brewed several jars of wine, and entertained his relatives and friends when he was ready. Unexpectedly, his wife gave birth to a daughter. At that time, people in society preferred boys to girls, and tailors were no exception. He was so angry that he buried several jars of wine under the osmanthus tree in the backyard.

Time flies, and my daughter grows up and is smart. She learned the tailor's craft very well, and also learned a good hand of embroidery, so the business of the tailor's shop is booming. The tailor saw that it was not bad to have a daughter! So I decided to marry her to my favorite apprentice and marry my daughter happily. On the wedding day, the tailor drank wine happily. Suddenly, he remembered several jars of wine buried under osmanthus trees more than ten years ago, so he dug them up and disposed of them. As a result, when the jar was opened, it was fragrant, rich in color and delicious. So everyone calls this wine "Daughter Red" wine, also called "Daughter Wine".

Since then, it has become a custom for the next-door neighbors and people from far and near to give birth to their daughters and bury them in wine. When they marry their daughters, they dig for wine and treat them. Later, even a boy was born, and he made wine and buried wine as planned, hoping that his son would win the first prize to celebrate drinking. Therefore, this wine is also called "Zhuangyuan Red". "Daughter Red" and "Zhuangyuanhong" are old wines that have been stored for a long time. This kind of wine is fragrant and delicious, and people give it as a valuable gift.

Daughter Red is a kind of glutinous rice wine, mainly produced in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China. As early as the Song Dynasty, Shaoxing was a famous wine producing area. Shaoxing people have daughters at home. At the full moon, children will choose jars, seal them with mud, bury them in the ground or hide them in the cellar, and take them out to entertain relatives and friends when their daughters get married. It's called "Daughter Red", and it's also called flower carving, because there are usually some auspicious patterns on the jar. People in Shangyu, China, recorded in "Southern Vegetation": "The wine of a thousand dollars is necessary for a rich family to have a daughter and marry a daughter".

Daughter Red is mainly made of high-quality glutinous rice, high-quality distiller's yeast and spring water from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It is brewed in an ancient way and then stored in a wine cellar for several years. Huadiao wine is soft, bright orange and mellow. Sometimes wine is also used as seasoning, such as carved chicken and stewed crab meat, which is a famous dish in Shaoxing.

Daughter red wine is a full-bodied wine with six flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh and astringent, and its nutritional value is higher than other wines, thus forming a comprehensive style of clear, fragrant, mellow, soft and refreshing.

Color: Daughter's red wine is mainly amber, that is, orange, transparent and clear, pure and lovely, which is pleasing to the eye.

Xiang: The red wine in the daughter country has an attractive aroma; As time goes on, it will become stronger and stronger.

Taste: The taste of my daughter's red wine is the most impressive, mainly mellow and fresh, with endless aftertaste. The taste of daughter red wine is a harmonious fusion of six flavors. These six flavors are sweet, sour, bitter, spicy (spicy), umami and astringent, which form an unusual "grid" of Daughter Red wine, which is fascinating and very unique.
