Instructions: This wine is used extensively for cooking and drinking throughout China and the finest variety is believed to be that from Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province in eastern China. It is made from glutinous rice yeast and springwater. Available from Chinese grocers it should be kept at room temperature tightly corked. A good quality dry pale sherry can be substituted but cannot equal the rich mellow taste of Chinese rice wine .
