Shaoxing rice wine, pay attention to the harmony of six flavors, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, spicy, umami, astringency, and can achieve balance, and then develop Yuan red wine, rice wine, good wine, fragrant snow wine and other excellent liquor. In modern times, Shaoxing rice wine is still the most important school of Chinese rice wine, and Guyue Longshan is the most high-profile brand of Shaoxing rice wine.

In the 2018 Huazhun Cup Liquor Brand Value Evaluation, Guyue Longshan was the No. 1 rice wine brand.

Shaoxing rice wine according to the convention, the lunar calendar in July to make wine medicine, August, September to make wheat koji, Xiaoxue to make the wine lady, before and after the heavy snow to start brewing, fermentation for more than 90 days, the following year in the spring began to press, fry the wine, and then mud sealed storage, generally stored for more than three years can be listed - so far, Shaoxing rice wine manufacturers still follow this old custom.
 
At present, the products of Guyue Longshan are all excellent products and first-class products. The price is concentrated in the middle and high-end, and there are fewer low-end and low-end items below 100 yuan, and the style is mainly traditional, and the sugar content is mainly semi-dry and semi-sweet. Judging from the varieties of Shaoxing wine, most of them are Huadiao wine, that is, rice wine (on the basis of one fermentation, additional ingredients are added and brewed again, so it is very mellow).
 
After eight years of aging, the koji and ester aromas are elegant, the entrance is soft and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness, the spicy taste of alcohol is weak, and the overall mellowness is good.

Although many manufacturers have developed special rice wine with added medicinal herbs in recent years, Guyue Longshan still focuses on the production of traditional rice wine. In terms of the choice of wine age, it is recommended to choose five years and eight years. For example, the bitterness and pungency of the alcohol are evident in the traditional semi-dry three-year-old Huadiao wine, but after aging, the unpleasant taste is much lessened, so five-year and eight-year-old wines are a safer way to start. Most people tend to buy jars, ceramic bottles, and antique design items for self-drinking or gifts, if it is just for getting started, it is recommended to buy bottles, which are cost-effective.
 
In addition, Guyue Longshan also has a series of fruit wines - osmanthus wine and green plum wine, but it is worth noting that the base wine of the fruit wine is edible alcohol, not its own rice wine. Shaoxing rice wine contains a large number of small molecule proteins, these small molecule proteins will condense and precipitate during storage, Shaoxing rice wine national standard also stipulates that the bottom of bottled wine is allowed to have a trace of sediment, so if a little sediment is found when drinking, it is normal.
