Types of monascus wine

Fujian is one of the few glutinous rice producing areas in China. According to Fujian dialect, "Nuo" and "Lao" have the same vowels and similar pronunciations. Therefore, Hakka people (Han people living in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi) read glutinous rice wine as an easy-to-pronounce old wine, which has been circulated for a long time and is called old wine with bright red flavor. Su Dongpo doesn't drink much, but he likes Fujian red wine very much. He once wrote that "drinking Fujian wine at night is like red Dan" to describe the scene of drinking red wine and looking at the moon with his disciples. Zhu Zeng described the prosperity of Fujian red wine with the title of "wine market": "I heard that in Chong 'an, every family is happy. Inviting guests on the roof, looking for the southern suburbs at the bottom of the flower. "In Chong 'an, red wine is called Qu Michun. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Tingzhou, far away from the river, was called "Xie Jiahong" and in the polar region it was called "Thunderbolt Spring".

Besides Fujian red wine, Zhejiang red wine is also famous. Li Mingzhizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that "Dongyang wine is Jinhua wine, and Gulanling is also"; Dongyang wine is the best medicine. "Jinhua wine, also known as Dongyang wine, is very sweet" in Zhang Mu's Diet Discrimination in the Qing Dynasty, and there is also a record about Jinhua wine in Feng Shihua's Wine History and Wine Name Attached in the Ming Dynasty: "It is made in Jinhua House, Zhejiang Province, and the capital is refined in modern times. As the saying goes,' Gold Jinhua wine, Wei Qi left a biography.

In the Ming Dynasty, red wine was introduced into Taiwan Province Province with Zheng Chenggong, but the production of red koji in Taiwan Province Province started late. At that time, because all monascus were imported from the mainland and the price was high, red wine was not for the rich. According to the history of liquor monopoly in Taiwan Province Province, it was not until the seventh year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (180 1 year) that the entrepreneurs of "Yilan Red Wine" moved to Taiwan Province Province after learning the preparation methods in Fujian. Since then, Yilan red wine has become common and must be drunk at local sacrifices or weddings, and Taiwan Province Province also has red koji. However, just because I haven't taught the method of making music, so. At present, the production method of red wine in Taiwan Province Province has been gradually improved and perfected, and the products are exported to foreign countries.
