The main drinks consumed by the Chinese are white liquor and rice wine. White liquor is distilled from sorghum or maize. As a magical drink and custom, it has accompanied important occasions such as weddings and birthdays for more than 6,000 years.Six hundred years ago, Chengdu was full of treasures, but half of them were soaked in alcohol.
