Essence of Chinese wine culture

Chinese wine culture originated in Shang and Zhou Dynasties and is an important part of China's food culture. Wine is one of the oldest foods in human beings, and its history almost begins with the history of human culture. Wine is not only food, but also a material culture with spiritual and cultural value. In this sense, drinking is not for the sake of drinking, it is also the culture of drinking.

In China, wine is often used as a tool. In the eyes of China people, wine is more used as a communication tool, so China's wine culture lacks scientific and systematic theoretical analysis and evaluation of wine itself, and pays more attention to the wonderful effect brought by drinking. In the west, the purpose of drinking is often very simple. Drinking is for tasting wine and drinking is for enjoying fine wine.
