So my friend brought me back this mystery bottle of alcohol from a recent trip abroad. Looks like a wierd sake jar, but wanted to research it first. Upon looking up the company profile, I learned they make Chinese medicinal wines, that may contain some 'questionable' ingredients that I'd rather not ingest(like deer tail, penis's of animals, etc...).
[sidebar] To see some of the other medicinal wines that are out there (not necessarily from the company I'm inquiring about), check out this link. http://www.geocities.com/sanlowal/sale.html
Be sure u have a strong stomach.... Read the titles and note how the header says 'not for human consumption', lol. [/sidebar]
So, if anyone can read these labels and translate, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The sticker on the back, the characters in brackets say (10 years) which I am guessing is the time it's been aged. The literal translation is "old sea"
Looks like "old wine" on the front.
Oh, and right on the bottom it says "made in china"
Ok, after more analysis, it looks to be "Rice Wine (10 years), Flower something Alcohol.." |

i find that disturbing (the wine itself, not the fact that you have a bottle in your office) and it actually semi bothers me.
interesting. |

first pic: "old wine"
second pic: (red label)"fai diu" (type of rice wine)
(white label) "aged ten years"
last pic: "old wine"
this is a cooking wine.
edit: its made from sweet rice and wheat. its only recommended for cooking because this type of wine also has salt added. |

| btw, its funny how this thread went in a totally different direction until my reply with the translation to set it back on course. |
