What kind of wine is Song Wu drinking?

According to the query of Qidian, in the novel Water Margin, Song Wu drank rice wine, which was closely related to the background and social environment at that time. In the Song Dynasty, yellow rice wine was the main brewing wine, and liquor and other high-alcohol wines had not yet appeared.

Rice wine is fermented from glutinous rice, yellow rice and other grains, with relatively low alcohol content and soft taste, which is suitable for daily drinking.

In the novel, Song Wu drank several bowls of rice wine in the hotel, and then successfully killed the tiger, showing his courage and heroism. As the main drink at that time, yellow rice wine not only satisfied people's thirst-quenching needs, but also became an important element in depicting heroic images in literary works. Therefore, Song Wu's drinking rice wine not only conforms to the historical background, but also reflects the unique description and praise of wine in literary works.
