Yandongguan Wujiapi wine has a garnet red and golden color, a rich and pleasant color, and a sweet and moist taste, which constitutes an unusual and memorable unique style. At the same time, the wine also has the health-care effects of promoting blood circulation, resisting cold, expelling wind and dampness, relieving fatigue, replenishing essence and marrow, and invigorating qi and mind. This is all determined by the water quality of Xin 'anjiang River. Xin 'anjiang water is transparent to the bottom, and the water quality is pure and refreshing. The water temperature of the river is kept at 14℃ all the year round, and there are dense fog in all seasons on the river, and the climate is humid, which is very beneficial to koji making, fermentation and pit fermentation. At the same time, it is also very suitable for the growth of bitter buckwheat and yellow gardenia as raw materials of Acanthopanax wine. Although the water quality of Xin 'anjiang River is excellent, the water for brewing Wujiapi wine comes from the well water beside Xin 'anjiang River. At present, the brewing water of Yandongguan Winery is still taken from the spring well behind the winery.

[history]
Yan Dongguan in Meicheng is located on the bank of Xin 'an River, where the famous Yan Dongguan Wujiapi wine is produced. Xin 'anjiang originated in the mountainous area of southern Anhui and runs through Jiande from west to east. Xin 'an River is above Yandongguan in Meicheng, Fuchun River is below, and finally flows into the sea through Qiantang River. Jiande became the state governor of Muzhou in 667 AD, and Meicheng has been the seat of the state governor with a long history, which has been more than a thousand years. Jiande people are still telling the story that Li Bai went down to Meicheng from Shunjiang, Anhui Province, drinking Wujiapi wine brewed by local people and lying drunk in Jiangzhu Stone.
Yan Dongguan in Meicheng has a long history of brewing and a rich wine culture. As early as the Song Dynasty, "Xiao Sa Jiu" produced by Yanzhou had been sold to Lin 'an. There is a story in the Song Dynasty's Luo Dajing's "He Lin Yu Lu", which mentions Xiao Saquan wine, and it can be seen that natural and unrestrained spring wine was a famous wine at that time.
The scope of protection of geographical indication products of Yandongguan Wujiapi wine is subject to the scope proposed by People's Letter of jiande city, Zhejiang Province (Jian Zheng Han [2006]13), which is Meicheng Town, Sandu Town, Gantan Town, Yangcunqiao Town, Xiaya Town, Xin 'anjiang Street and Yangyang Town in jiande city along the Xin 'anjiang River Basin in Zhejiang Province.
