What are the most popular alcoholic drinks in China?
Beer is number one and the brand depends where you are and who you are with. Next is Baijiu, or shaojiu (烧酒). This is a Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage. The name baijiu literally means “white liquor,” “white alcohol” or “white spirits.” Baijiu is often mistakenly translated as “wine” or “white wine”, but it is actually a distilled liquor, generally about 80 to 120 proof, or 40-60% alcohol by volume (ABV) (ethanol). I do business all over China and red, white or ice wine is scarce. Beer and baijiu are the most common by far. Gambei!!!!
