Shaoxing wine is a traditional Chinese rice wine that originates from Shaoxing, a city in China's Zhejiang province. It is made by fermenting glutinous rice, water, and wheat-based yeast. Shaoxing wine is widely recognized and used in Chinese cuisine as both a beverage and a cooking wine, similar to how sake is used in Japanese cooking or wine in Western cooking. It adds depth, complexity, and umami flavor to various dishes like stir-fries, marinades, and red-cooked dishes. The wine has an amber color and a complex flavor profile that can be described as slightly sweet, nutty, earthy, with notes of dried fruits, caramel, or sherry, and a subtle acidity.
