Ji Han, a native of Shangyu in China's Jin Dynasty, recorded in his "Southern Grass and Trees": "Daughter's wine was a must-have for rich families in the old days when they gave birth to and married daughters." Speaking of this name, there is another story!
Once upon a time, there was a tailor in Shaoxing who wanted a son after taking his wife. One day, he found out that his wife was pregnant.

The tailor was very happy with the wine. Suddenly he remembered the jars of wine buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree more than ten years ago, so he dug them out to treat the guests. As a result, when he opened the jars, he was filled with fragrant aroma and strong taste. Alcoholic and extremely delicious. So, everyone called this wine "Nv'er Red" wine, also known as "Nv'er's wine".

Later, even when a boy was born, the custom was to make wine and drink it in celebration of his son winning the first prize. Therefore, this wine was also called "No. 1 Scholar Red".
