My first time trying orange wine (I’m told they ferment the rinds). I don’t usually like fruit wine but this was very good, very clean-tasting.

BRIEF: “This product is brewed scientifically with modern bioengineering technology, using whole-year room-temperature stored Shaoxing rice wine as base wine. Because of its low alcohol content, mellow and fresh taste, it wins warm praise from customers. The precipitation is produced naturally during storage and doesn't affect drinking.” SOOT’S TAKE: My first time trying yellow rice wine. If I had a say in the naming of this wine, I’d have named it Mellow Yellow.

If the food don’t cut it, bring on the libations.

Smooth, viscous, rich and sweet. Almost disgustingly so. #botrytiscinerea #viognierarneis

I lost count of the number of moscati and reds I had subsequently over 3 hours prior to lunch, but these were the first thing Sooty M consumed straight outta bed on a relatively empty stomach. Needless to say, I paid dearly for it several hours later...🤢

First time trying Japanese wine that's not sake. Tastes like port...and 2 years later, still sitting in the fridge. 🙈

A tad sweet.
