The most popular traditional alcoholic beverage in China's Hainan island is Chinese shanlan rice wine. In the creation of Chinese rice wine, sticky rice is recommended. Shanlan rice is a glutinous rice that grows in the Wuzhi mountain region. This rice is used as the primary ingredient in the production of wine without further distillation. Shanlan rice wine, when freshly created, produces a rich gas of CO2 and alcohol, with a mellow taste and sweet, pleasant sensory experience.
