It is not only an important grain production base in the country, but also the liquor produced is also diverse in style and is competing for beauty.
However, when it comes to Chinese liquor, people usually only think that Sichuan is full of good wine, Kweichow Moutai is famous all over the world, while Hunan liquor seems to be a little low-key and difficult to remember.
But in fact, Hunan wine has a profound cultural heritage and its brewing skills have been perfected after thousands of years of inheritance. Therefore, there are many good wines in Hunan. Hunanese are not only good at making wine, but also like to drink a few drinks in their spare time. Some local old wine lovers are also very knowledgeable about wine research.
