The famous Shaoxing "Huadiao wine" is also called "Daughter wine". People in Shangyu, China recorded in "Southern Vegetation": "Daughter wine, in the old society, it was essential for rich families to have daughters and marry them." Speaking of this name, there is another story!
Once upon a time, there was a tailor in Shaoxing who wanted a son when he got married. One day, he found that his wife was pregnant. He was so happy that he rushed home excitedly, brewed several jars of wine, and entertained his relatives and friends when he was ready. Unexpectedly, his wife gave birth to a daughter. At that time, people in society preferred boys to girls, and tailors were no exception. He was so angry that he buried several jars of wine under the osmanthus tree in the backyard.
Time flies, and my daughter grows up and is smart. She learned the tailor's craft very well, and also learned a good hand of embroidery, so the business of the tailor's shop is booming. The tailor saw that it was not bad to have a daughter! So I decided to marry her to my favorite apprentice and marry my daughter happily. On the wedding day, the tailor drank wine happily. Suddenly, he remembered several jars of wine buried under osmanthus trees more than ten years ago, so he dug them up and disposed of them. As a result, when the jar was opened, it was fragrant, rich in color and delicious. So everyone calls this wine "Daughter Red" wine, also called "Daughter Wine".
Since then, it has become a custom for the next-door neighbors and people from far and near to give birth to their daughters and bury them in wine. When they marry their daughters, they dig for wine and treat them. Later, even a boy was born, and he made wine and buried wine as planned, hoping that his son would win the first prize to celebrate drinking. Therefore, this wine is also called "Zhuangyuan Red". "Daughter Red" and "Zhuangyuanhong" are old wines that have been stored for a long time. This kind of wine is fragrant and delicious, and people give it as a valuable gift.
