The wine brewed with green plums is called green plum wine. Plum, also known as plum and sour plum, belongs to one of the fruit trees in Rosaceae. Plum originated in China and is a subtropical fruit in China. Widely planted in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places in China, and then introduced to Japan and Southeast Asia. The main producing areas of plums in the world are China and Japan.
The formula of plum wine is: plum 150g, almond 10g, 500ml rice wine and appropriate amount of rock sugar. Clean fresh plums, put them in wine bottles with almonds, and soak them in a sealed container for 30 days.

Known as "the hometown of green plums in China", Puning Shande Village, Zhaoan Dabu Village and Hongxing Township, green plums have the advantages of big meat and small nucleus, no pesticide residue, and are pollution-free green foods. Plum wine produced by Puning and Zhaoan is famous at home and abroad.
Characteristics of plum wine
Plum wine has a long history and profound cultural connotation. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, in the fifth year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei "learned from Xu Tian, thinking that it was a plan to hide his strength and bide his time", and Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to discuss the heroes of the world with plum wine. The allusions of plum wine and its "heroes of plum wine" can be found in history books.
Mei wine is not a new category. In Yunnan, Guangdong, Fujian and other places in China, self-made plum wine has a long history, and Japan and South Korea also have the habit of drinking plum wine. The production technology of plum wine is mainly divided into two schools.
One is plum wine, represented by Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, where fresh plum fruits are soaked in rice wine or yellow wine. Some Japanese and Korean Mei Shengping also belong to this type.
The other is the green plum wine fermented by the accumulation of green plum fruits. Due to the backward production equipment and filtration equipment, the green plum wine produced by this process has a unique taste, but it is not easy to preserve and solve the precipitation problem.
