This is a type of wine fermented from sticky rice, water, and wine yeast in large ceramic jars. Tay Bac rice wine is not only a familiar drink during festivals but also a symbol of the culture, affection, and hospitality of the Northwest people.
Understanding Tay Bac rice wine
Rice wine is an indispensable beverage for highland people on holidays and festivals. Because it has a sweet taste and a lower alcohol content than wines brewed in the lowlands, it reduces headaches when drinking too much.
Rice wine is usually made from the main ingredient of rice or corn, cassava, sweet potatoes. To create a unique flavor, people often make their own wine yeast from rice flour and add some precious herbs, which gives the wine a special aroma when the fermentation process is complete.

The standard way to drink Tay Bac rice wine according to the Northwest people
Rice wine tastes better when served cold, so before enjoying it, open the lid and pour cold water into it about 30 minutes before drinking. Then, insert the straw and enjoy. Add more water to the jar if it runs out, drinking until you feel the wine is diluted. Additionally, visitors can also pour the wine into a glass to drink like enjoying other types of wine.
