The history of winemaking in China has a long history. It first started in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and has a history of more than 3,000 years. Zhu Yizhong's "Jiu Jing" states that in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, an official named Yi Di made wine with rice wrapped in mulberry leaves and presented it to Dayu. After the meal, Dayu felt the taste was sweet and sighed: "Future generations will definitely have wine for drinking. The country will be subjugated." So he ordered a ban on making wine, but the method of making wine was still secretly spread in the palace. According to the "Shuowen Jiezi" record: "In ancient times, Shaokang first wrote 蓓緼, 秫水, Shaokang, and Du Kang." Since ancient times, literati and scholars loved drinking, so they gave wine many elegant names, such as " "Golden paste", "Wan liquid", "Qiongsu", etc., some of them directly enter the poem. Wine became an important part of the literati's art of life. "Li Bai's Hundred Poems on Drinking Wine" shows that wine has become a part of literati culture here.

In the daily life of Chinese people, wine is not regarded as a simple drink, but as a "lubricant" for interpersonal relationships and a "emboldening agent" for personal character. It plays a role in regulating The role of interpersonal relationships, developing and stimulating people's character. There is a Chinese saying that "no party is complete without wine". Wine is ubiquitous in our social life. From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have always been committed to friendship. When friends meet, whether it is a reunion after a long absence or a meeting by invitation, they must express their feelings over wine. Have a drink. The Chinese call the wedding banquet "wedding wine", the full moon celebration after the birth of a child is called "full moon wine", the "Double Ninth Festival" is drunk on the Double Ninth Festival, the "Calamus wine" is drunk on the Dragon Boat Festival, the "celebration wine" is drunk on celebrations, and the lover drinks "Give me a cup of wine", make friends and drink "a cup of wine". In addition, you must drink when worshiping gods, worshiping ancestors, opening a business, etc. Wine has become a bridge and link between Chinese people and plays an important role in daily life.

There are many types of Chinese wine, including liquor, wine, beer, rice wine, medicinal wine, etc. Among them, China's famous liquor has long been famous in the international market and has been well received by Chinese and foreign guests and friends. In 1979, at the third national wine appraisal meeting, 18 kinds of famous Chinese wines were judged. The wines are: Kweichow Moutai, Sichuan Wuliangye, Sichuan Jiannanchun, Guizhou Dongjiu, Shanxi Fenjiu, Anhui Gujinggong, Sichuan Luzhou Laojiao wine, Jiangsu Yanghe Daqu wine, Yantai wine, Beijing Chinese red wine, Hebei Shacheng white wine, Henan Minquan white wine, Yantai vermouth, Yantai gold medal brandy, Shanxi Zhuyeqing, Shaoxing rice wine, Fujian Chentan wine, Tsingtao beer.

China not only has a wide variety of wines, but also has a long history of drinking culture. What Chinese people pay most attention to when drinking is artistic conception. The best state is like being drunk but not drunk, which puts people in the happiest and most exciting state. At this time, not only did people talk a lot, but they were also very interested, with witty remarks and poems flowing out of them. "Li Bai's Hundred Poems on Drinking Wine" is the best example.

The Chinese have also woven many drinking orders and drinking songs when it comes to drinking. For example, "A thousand cups of wine is too little when meeting a close friend. Drink as much as you can, as much as you can, and not drinking at all is not good." "Ten glasses of wine, the red heart shines with the sun"... Therefore, there are also many allusions using wine as an introduction from ancient times to the present, such as "Cao Cao boiled green plums and drank wine to discuss heroes", "Taizu of the Song Dynasty released his military power with a glass of wine", "Wu Song was drunk and beat Chiang Kai-shek" "Door God", etc., as well as numerous text creations with the theme of wine, all of which have added interesting content to Chinese wine culture. Another manifestation of China's wine culture is that they like to taste slowly, don't like to drink it all in one go, and they don't like to get drunk. Therefore, not only are there many particularities in the drinking utensils, but there are also various ways of drinking. For example, the wine cup should be small, and there is a fixed standard for how many servings a full cup should have. Among the people, there is also the habit of warming and scalding wine. It is believed that drinking cold wine is harmful to health. People often pour the wine in the bottle into a flask, put it in hot water to warm it, and drink it after it is hot. These wine-related cultures are a living custom of the Chinese people. However, with the invasion of foreign wine culture, China's wine culture is gradually changing.
