Thick wine is the product of deep processing of the mash, specifically, the mash is ground with water, sugar, sugar cinnamon boiling, and then filtered, filtered out of the slurry is yellow cinnamon thick wine. Mash is better for the body because it contains alcohol and can be left at room temperature for a long time under sealed conditions without going bad. Thick liquors are made with sugar, which can turn sour in hot weather, and in order to increase their shelf life, preservatives and sweeteners are inevitably added to industrially made thick liquors. So it's still mash that's a bit healthier!
