What's the difference between Huadiao wine and Jimo old wine?

Although Jimo old wine and Huadiao wine belong to the category of yellow rice wine, their raw materials, techniques and drinking methods are different, so their tastes are very different. Take Shaoxing Flower Carving, the most representative among the flower carvings, as an example, and the comparison is as follows:

Jimo wine Shaoxing huadiao

The main raw materials are rhubarb rice (millet) and Laoshan spring water; Glutinous rice, Jianhu water

Fermented aged wheat koji; High quality wheat koji

Brewing (old wine)-soaking rice-saccharifying-drying rice-harrowing-fermentation in cylinder-squeezing-aging-filling (disinfection); (carving) soaking rice-steaming rice-drying rice-in-tank fermentation-harrowing-in-tank fermentation-squeezing-aging-filling (disinfection)

Drink (old wine) and heat it for no more than 2 minutes without adding water. You can add Lycium barbarum and Mume Fructus and heat them together, but you can't heat them continuously at high temperature.

(Carved) Bring the casserole or electric kettle to a boil and turn to low heat for 10 minute. You can add Lycium barbarum, shredded ginger and preserved plum and cook them together.

The appearance is similar to the color of aged vinegar, opaque and moderately viscous. Good old wine is similar to wine "hanging cup"; Amber, transparent liquid, low viscosity of carving, almost no cup hanging.

The taste of old wine is slightly bitter and fragrant at first, and the aftertaste is sweet and long; The entrance of flower carving is similar to beet at first, and the aftertaste is slightly pungent, which is lighter and softer than Jimo old wine.
