Product Description:
Black Glutinous Rice Wine originates from Huishui, Guizhou, where the black glutinous rice used for brewing has been cultivated since the Song Dynasty and was once a tribute to the emperor. It is made from the local specialty black glutinous rice grown in high-altitude cold regions, using the age-old brewing methods of the Bouyei people combined with modern techniques. The production was revived and refined by the Huishui Distillery in 1979. In 1983, it was awarded the title of "Guizhou Famous Wine," and in 2012, it was listed as a National Geographical Indication Product. In 2020, it was included in the mutual recognition list of the China-EU Geographical Indication Agreement.
