The difference between ancient wine and modern wine

In ancient times, the types of wine were relatively single, and they were generally white wine brewed from grain. There were many kinds of rice grains in ancient times, so the earliest wine was mainly rice wine. There are many kinds of modern wines, including beer, white wine, red wine and other fruit wines.

Due to the difference of brewing level and the singleness of raw materials, the degree of alcohol brewed in ancient times was not high. The color is not as thorough as modern wine, and there are many impurities.

The oldest physical wine in the world is the wine unearthed in Zamaria, Iran, which was still mellow more than 3,000 years ago. The oldest physical wine in China is the imperial wine of Han Dynasty unearthed in Xi 'an, which is grain wine according to experts' research.

For thousands of years, the brewing industry in China has been developing continuously. In the historical changes, a variety of famous wines with more local characteristics and local customs have been brewed.
