How it's used
Traditionally, this wine was buried underground when a daughter was born and unearthed on her wedding day, making it a symbol of celebration and family bonds. While it is a specific variety of yellow wine, it is often associated with high quality and cultural heritage in Chinese banquets. It is rarely consumed as a casual everyday drink due to its historical significance and premium status.
