Taijade Shaohsing Rice Wine – 600ml

Shaoxing Rice Wine (also known as Shaohsing Wine or Huadiao Wine) is one of China’s most celebrated traditional rice wines, with a history spanning over 2000 years. Originating from the canal city of Shaoxing in Zhejiang province, it belongs to the family of ‘yellow wines’ (huang jiu) made from fermented wheat and brown glutinous rice.

Rich and full-bodied, Shaoxing wine is often compared to a strong, dry sherry, with a distinctive sharpness and depth of flavour. While sometimes sipped warm at banquets, its true fame lies in its culinary versatility. It is a staple in Chinese cooking, used to enrich marinades, stir-fries, and braised dishes. Essential for classics like Hong Shao (red-braised dishes), it brings warmth and umami complexity to meats, seafood, and chicken alike.

A timeless pantry essential, Taijade Shaohsing Rice Wine adds an authentic touch to both traditional and modern Chinese recipes.
