Therefore, if you make wine at home, you should pay attention that the rice wine is made from rice, while the glutinous rice is made from glutinous rice.



2. The purpose is different.

Rice wine is actually called yellow wine, mainly for people to taste. Although its properties are the same as white wine, it is not as strong as white wine, and the alcohol concentration is relatively low, and the taste is relatively light. Although rice wine is sometimes used instead of cooking wine for cooking, it is a minority after all. The glutinous rice is not used for drinking, it is mainly used as a seasoning for cooking.
