Understanding Rice Wine

 

* Rice Wine is an age-old tonic made of three ingredients: finest selection of glutinous rice, natural red yeast, purified water.

* Yellow Rice Wine and "Red Rice Wine" falls under the same category of Rice Wine - the only difference is that natural red yeast is used instead of normal yeast (yellow rice wine).

* Wine Lees is the essence concentrate as a result of the natural fermentation process in form of a paste that is highly nutritional and used to cook aromatic and delightful dishes.

* Rice Wine has always been a part of our cultural heritage here in Singapore for many years. You can use it for everyday cooking (no preservatives, no salt added unlike shaoxing).

* Medical benefits of Rice Wine: 

   - Promotes blood circulation (hence highly sought after by mothers after child birth as it reduces cramps..etc. and sipped by elders as a health tonic)
   - Reduces inflammation*

   - Boosts body immune system**

   - Promotes healthy cholesterol level+

   - Presence of lactic acid makes it a probiotic, promoting good stomach health

 Psst: Chinese Premier Deng XiaoPing was advised by his top medical advisors and sipped a cup of rice wine everyday till age of 92.

* Characteristics of an excellent rice wine brew:

   1. Color - good clarity in golden red/brown color when placed against a lit backdrop

   2. Aroma - mellow, pleasant and mature fragrance

   3. Taste - flavour should contain hints of sweetness, freshness, savouriness, nuttiness with slight bitterness/acidity all together

   4. Character - an excellent rice wine should exhibit a harmonious character of all the above, that is the characteristic of the finest brew

Postpartum Nourishment 

* Fact: The true health benefits to aid post-birth recovery come from cooking with the finest glutinous Rice Wine since thousands of years ago!  

* Alcohol is reduced and evaporated, leaving behind a nourishing aromatic dish. You need to cook a sauce for at least 20 to 30 seconds after adding wine to it to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Since alcohol evaporates at 172°F (78°C), any sauce or stew that is simmering or boiling is certainly hot enough to evaporate the alcohol. Hence it is perfectly fine to consume dishes cooked with rice wine during breastfeeding. 

* Recommended average consumption for postpartum nourishment: 4 x Premium Rice Wine + 2 x Nutritious Wine Lees 

* We may run out of stock sometimes as we are a small-scale brewer, please consider placing your order in advance to avoid disappointment.
