I first met osmanthus wine, derived from "Lohas", home brewed rice wine, added osmanthus, wolfberry and longan, and waited for a month. The wine that was brewed was amber in color, and it touched my heart instantly. I happened to have the rice wine from Phoenix Mountain at home. Looking for a sunny Sunday, I slowly brewed the sweet-scented osmanthus wine with expectation. It is brewing, rather than using sweet-scented osmanthus, wolfberry and longan into the wine, waiting for the blend of floral and wine aromas. The sweet-scented osmanthus wine made with good rice wine has a few small osmanthus flowers floating in the amber liquor. The wine is mellow and thick, tastes slightly sweet, and has a slightly elegant floral fragrance. The unpacked sweet-scented osmanthus wine coincides with the festival. In the old days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the moon osmanthus, smelling bursts of osmanthus, and drinking a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine with the family is one of the joys of life. Su Dongpo once brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine by himself. He wrote in "Ode to Osmanthus Wine": "Teach me with the prescription of Osmanthus Wine, it is made into a jade color, the fragrance is transcendent, and it is inhuman."
