Carved wine, also known as Zhuangyuanhong and Nverhong, is said that people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces brewed yellow wine by themselves in ancient times. Because they wanted to give it away but suffered from the fact that ordinary utensils were not fine enough, they asked people to burn some crocks or clay pots with dragons, phoenixes, flowers, fish and birds carved on the outside, so the yellow wine in such utensils was honored as carved flowers.

Shaoxing carved rice wine is rich in protein and amino acids. It is rich in protein, and the protein per liter of Shaoxing rice wine is 16g, which is four times that of beer.

Moreover, protein in yellow rice wine is easily absorbed and utilized by human body after being degraded by microbial enzymes. And 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for human body can also be found in yellow rice wine. According to statistics, every liter of rice wine contains 3400mg of essential amino acids and 2960mg of semi-essential amino acids, while the essential amino acids in beer and wine are only 440mg or less.
