Baijiu is a strong distilled alcohol made from grains or glutinous rice, with a unique flavor and a 7,000-year-old tradition in Chinese culture. It is China’s national drink, served hot or at room temperature, and can be cheap or expensive, with different scents and flavors. It has a high alcohol content of 40-60%.
Baijiu, which literally translates from the Chinese language as “white liquor,” is a potent distilled alcohol that is traditional in Chinese culture. Baijiu is typically made from grains such as sorghum or wheat, but baijiu made in northern China may be made from glutinous rice instead. It may look similar to vodka, but has a unique flavor that is incomparable to any other type of spirit. Historians say the tradition of making baijiu may be 7,000 years old.
Baijiu is considered China’s national drink and is often featured on special occasions such as birthdays and business meetings, and whenever a foreign guest is present at the table. Typically, baijiu is served hot or at room temperature and is poured from a ceramic bottle into small shot glasses. In Chinese culture, it is considered rude to refuse a drink. However, the drink is rarely offered to women in Chinese society.
As with wine, you can buy a bottle of baijiu for cheap, mid-range, or expensive. A bottle of low-quality baijui can be purchased for several dollars, but a bottle that has been aged for many years can cost over $3,000 US Dollars (USD). Baijiu can also be classified based on its scent. Traditional fragrances for the drink are salsa fragrances, which can be off-putting to the Western palette; intense aroma; light scent; rice scent; layered fragrance; and honey scent. Some people prefer a heavier, more fragrant baijui, while others enjoy the light varieties.
Baijiu can also be available flavored or unflavored. There are many types of flavored baijiu, but many of them include medicinal herbs or tea leaves. No matter what type of baijiu you drink, you can always expect the alcohol content to be extremely high. Baijiu typically contains between 40 and 60 percent ethanol, or 80 to 120 proof
