Having morning wine is a custom in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province.

Because Jingzhou used to be a very important wharf on the main road of the Yangtze River, a large number of local men made a living loading and unloading goods on the wharf. In order not to delay the daytime sailing, the stevedores almost always worked at night and did not stop until dawn. In order to get a good sleep during the day, people usually drink some wine after work in the morning to help them sleep.

A bowl of eggnog is the entry-level option for Hubei people to drink morning wine. The high-quality glutinous rice produced in Hubei is mixed with distiller's yeast and fermented into a rice wine that is as white as jade liquid, sweet and refreshing. Beat a free-range egg into a portion of rice wine, pour in boiling water, mix in a spoonful of sugar, and a bowl of fragrant eggnog is brought to you. Pair it with fried crispy and oily dough nests and fried dough sticks, and eat it together. The whole morning was filled with sweetness and warmth.
