For preparing medicinal wine, it is generally best to use high-quality pure grain liquor with an alcohol content of 50 to 60 degrees. Analysis of Chinese medicinal materials shows that both Chinese herbal medicines and animal medicinal materials contain water and more or less bacteria. and germs, and only a slightly higher degree can kill bacteria and germs. In addition, the leakage of moisture from medicinal materials will dilute the alcohol content, so it is appropriate to choose wine with a higher degree. The low alcohol content is not conducive to the dissolution of active ingredients in Chinese medicinal materials, thereby affecting the treatment and health care effects.

Finally, from the perspective of quality preservation, the water content of low-alcohol wine, coupled with the dilution of medicinal materials, is too high, which is not conducive to long-term storage.

In addition, as time goes by, the alcohol content of wine will also decrease. Therefore, it is better to choose wine with 50-60 degrees for making wine.
