I was in Luzhou this week - it's South China & very warm & humid...
My kind hosts took me to a 'famous' wine maker (it's known as Baijiu - we'd call it a 'short') and it's jolly powerful - about 60% proof) - they've been brewing the stuff in some cellars since 1574, and you can smell a sort of beer / 'hops' / fermenting smell drifting around the town...
It was quite fascinating to see....traditional methods, which reflect in the prices...divide by 10 to convert to UK pounds....so that's 18,000 and 40,000 POUNDS a bottle...
I'm waiting until I'm next in an airport duty-free....
