The origin of liquor?

The history of China wine can be traced back to ancient times.

According to archaeologists, among Neolithic pottery products unearthed in modern times, there are special wine vessels, which shows that in primitive society, wine-making has been very popular in China. After Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were more and more drinking utensils. Among the unearthed cultural relics of Shang Dynasty, bronze wine vessels accounted for a considerable proportion, indicating that the drinking atmosphere at that time was really prosperous.

Early wines should be fruit wine and rice wine. Since the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties and even the Tang and Song Dynasties, whether it is Wu Ji's pressing wine to persuade customers to taste or Song Wu's drinking Jingyanggang in a big bowl, all fruits and grains are cooked, fermented and squeezed before wine is produced.
