The most orthodox and traditional method of drinking Shaoxing wine is to heat it over water to about 45 degrees Celsius. The most commonly used wine containers are copper pots and tin pots. Of course, ceramic containers can also be used, but the thermal conductivity is not as good as copper and tin. This method of drinking warm wine is especially suitable for the largest Yuanhong and Jiafang wine. This is a drinking method passed down from ancient times, because the warmed Yuanhong and Jiafang wine can best bring out the aroma of the wine and can also enhance the wine. The most important thing is that it warms the heart and soul when drinking, without hurting the stomach. Dry Yuanhong wine is best paired with chicken, duck, and egg dishes in a warm state. Semi-dry rice wine is suitable for seafood and cold dishes, especially around the Autumn Festival. The combination of hairy crabs and warmed Shaoxing rice wine is the best pairing in the world. In addition, the warmed Shaoxing rice wine, whether it is Yuanhong, Jiafan, Shanniang or Xiangxue, can be mixed and drank according to personal taste needs, giving it a unique flavor.
