According to expert research, milk wine originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been written records of "horses chasing water and grass, and people looking up to Tong cheese". It peaked in the Yuan Dynasty and has been popular among ethnic minorities in the north for more than 2,000 people. It is a traditional wine with a long history. It has always played the role of ceremonial wine for nomadic people.
According to legend, as early as the early Yuan Dynasty, Mobei was in a period of great turmoil and great changes. At that time, the various tribes in Mongolia were in disarray. The tribes competed for strength and each elected a monarch. The 17-year-old Temujin inherited his father's legacy, mounted a war horse, waved a flag and rebuilt his homeland. Temujin's wife was at home, missing her husband on the expedition and making dairy products. One day, when she was making yogurt, water dropped from the lid of the pot and flowed into the bowl next to her. She smelled a special milky aroma. Once she tasted the delicious, sweet and ecstatic feeling, she gradually mastered the wine-making process in her production and life, and made simple wine utensils to brew it by herself. At the celebration ceremony of Temujin becoming the Great Khan, she dedicated the wine she brewed to her husband Genghis Khan and the soldiers. After the Great Khan and the soldiers drank it, they cheered continuously.
From then on, Genghis Khan named it the imperial meal wine and named it Sailin Erha.
