中国酒(英) 内容简介

The Chinese do not see wine as one of the necessities of life, but in theirsocial life the culture of wine as a distinct cultural form has made andcontinues to make an impact on the way the Chinese live. Chinese alcoholicdrinks are chiefly made from grain. Throughout the long history of China, withits large population and long-term reliance on agriculture, the ups and downsof the wine trade have been closely bound up with political, economic andsocial conditions. The fluctuations in the grain harvest were like a barometerfor the ups and downs of the wine business. The successive ruling dynastiesissued or relaxed restrictions on wine production according to the grainharvests to make sure that people had enough to live on.
