Jimo old wine belongs to yellow rice wine, which is one of the classic famous wines in China. It has unique flavor and rich nutrition. Jimo old wine is produced in Jimo County, Shandong Province, and was called "old wine" in ancient times. According to Jimo County Records and related historical records, in 722 BC, Jimo area (including Laoshan Mountain) was already a place with a large population and rich products. The land here is fertile, millet (commonly known as Dahuangmi) has a high yield, and the rice grain is large and round, which is an excellent raw material for brewing yellow rice wine.
