origin
The famous Shaoxing "Huadiao Liquor" is also called "Daughter Liquor". People in Shangyu, China, recorded in "Southern Vegetation": "Daughter wine was necessary for a rich family to have a daughter and marry a daughter in the old days." Speaking of this name, there is another story!
Once upon a time, there was a tailor in Shaoxing who wanted a son when he took his wife. One day, he found that his wife was pregnant. He was so happy that he rushed home excitedly, brewed several jars of wine and prepared to entertain relatives and friends when he was ready. Unexpectedly, his wife gave birth to a daughter. At that time, people in society preferred sons to daughters, and the tailor was no exception. He was so angry that he buried several jars of wine under the osmanthus tree in the backyard.
Time flies, my daughter has grown up and is smart. She has learned the tailor's craft very well, and she has learned a good hand at embroidery, so the business of the tailor's shop is getting more and more prosperous. When the tailor saw it, it was not bad to have a daughter! So I decided to marry her to my favorite apprentice and happily marry my daughter. On the wedding day, the tailor was very happy to drink wine. Suddenly, he remembered several jars of wine buried under the osmanthus tree more than ten years ago, so he dug them up and treated them. As a result, when the jars were opened, they were fragrant, rich in color and delicious. Therefore, everyone called this wine "Daughter Red" wine, also known as "Daughter Wine".
Since then, when the next-door neighbor, a family near and far, gave birth to a daughter, they made wine and buried it, and when they married a daughter, they dug wine and treated them, forming a custom. Later, even when boys were born, they also made wine and buried wine in accordance with the plan, hoping that their son would celebrate drinking when he won the top prize. Therefore, this wine was also called "Zhuangyuanhong". "Daughter Red" and "Zhuangyuanhong" are old wines that have been stored for a long time. This wine is so fragrant and delicious that people give it as a valuable gift.

Xiang: Daughter's red wine has an attractive fragrance; And it tends to get stronger with the passage of time.
Taste: The taste of my daughter's red wine is the most impressive, mainly mellow and fresh, with endless aftertaste. The taste of daughter's red wine is a harmonious fusion of six flavors. These six flavors are sweet, sour, bitter, pungent (spicy), umami and astringent, which form an unusual "grid" of daughter's red wine, a fascinating and very unique style.
There is a folk wine in the south of the Yangtze River called Daughter Red, which always reminds every drinker of some classical and beautiful works by painter Chen Yifei or Lin Fengmian: a wine jar with square paper is placed on a carved console table, a daughter in a red coat shakes red in the face of a candle shadow, a red lantern is hung on a high eaves, and a group of folk music teams are blowing and beating around the sedan chair in the courtyard. .......
In the snowy winter or the bleak night of spring rain, the wife wearing a green coat and plum blossoms warms a pot of daughter red for her husband on a small red mud stove, so that the boiling wine will be warm and desolate for her husband and father. Drink three or five cups, drink top-heavy, and then spread out rice paper, "Picking Mulberry Seeds" or "Pruning Plums" in the dim light of night. You can write anything, as long as it rhymes, so that your heart will be warmer when you write such ancient words. ..
