Not a chance, Chinese Rose wines are not pinkish like its western counterpart. but obvious. and also the alcohol submissions are. 54%. (normal wines have around 9-14%, liquers around 40%)
It's predominantly a cooking wine and is made of sorghum wine (gao liang jiu) and distilled rose petals, salt and sugar.
What exactly is it employed for.
Apparently bak kua (dried pork) and lup cheong (chinese pork susuages). the business's website tells me that it's been hailed as China's Brandy and can be used basics for a number of cocktails.
when compared to usual shao xing wine ($1.6- 5), chinese rose wines ranged from $6.5- $8. initially i believed it was a little costly. however, $6.50 for any bottle of brandy is not bad whatsoever.
Taste wise. it is extremely hot, includes a very subtle rose scent and it is quite salty (rather of sweet when i expected). I acquired it to create Bak Kua for any dear friend who's departing for Port Lincoln subsequently on her first placement. the meat is presently marinating within the fridge..
I have to admit that i'm quite impressed using the packaging from the wine. it's available in a significant presentable box and also the bottle is sealed with gold foil as well as includes a marketing leaflet showing a fairly images of the development process (an entire vat of pink rose petals) and recipes for many cocktails. appears positively luxurious. (unusual in my opinion for produced in china foodstuffs. P the grocers here must are just importing the low finish products..)
1 kg of bak kua requires. (cue drumroll..) two tablespoons from the wine. now i've got a full bottle left. Rose cocktails anybody.
** Lily did point out that your wine could be substituted with shao xing wine however for first attempts, it's my job to decide to get the precise ingredients after which test out following attempts.

Quite interesting Blog, I purchase this around australia from the Chinese supermarket. I've only tried on the extender to cook fish, and also have i never thought of consuming it(used to do really consider it however i thought it might be an awful idea). It is Under $10, that makes it the least expensive spirit available on the market undoubtedly. I would try a few of the Cocktails a few days ago, however i am worried about the salt content from the wine. It can lead to a naty hangover.
Anybody getting trouble finding maltose or rose wine and it has a 99 Ranch Market close by&....
Search for maltose next to the honey. It’s in a tiny white-colored tub with blue letters along with a pink lid. I possibly could not find anything labelled rose wine, however a little researched demonstrated it also passes the name &"Mei Kuei Lu Chiew&" which is incorporated in the liquor aisle close to the Sake. It features a rose embossed on the rear of the bottle. It’s about $15 for any 750ml bottle.
