Now Simon, what is Baijiu?
Well Baijiu is a big classification. It literally means white sprite spirit, let’s say, we have gin, vodka and schnapps all in one category called white sprite spirits.
spirt: N-PLURAL 复数名词(威士忌、杜松子酒等)烈性酒
Spirits are strong alcoholic drinks such as whisky and gin.
So, what do you have here, Simon?
This is the strong aroma, this is by the most popular Baijiu, from the Sichuan area, and it is blended and fermented and blended and fermented, I think it has a complex flavor to it.
ferment: V-ERG 及物/不及物动词(使)发酵 If a food, drink, or other natural substance ferments, or if it is fermented, a chemical change takes place in it so that alcohol is produced. This process forms part of the production of alcoholic drinks such as wine and beer.
Are these Baijiu glasses? These are official baijiu glasses.
What’s that? What’s cheers? Gan bei. It means dry glasses, you need to drink the whole thing.
Oh I like that. …
I like these little glasses. I feel like I am in Lilliput.
年轻人，多读书！「小人国」都不懂……
But it’s dangerous because you can drink a lot of them really fast.
It goes down, you got the fiery taste but has a cleaner finish.
fiery: (食物或饮料)辛辣的，刺激的 If you describe food or drink as fiery, you mean that it has a very strong hot or spicy taste.
Pear drops. Marmite. Oh yeah! I really like that. I do.
And this one you see has a light lighter aroma, Fenjiu, this is popular in the north, make with also some rice and also sorghum.

It is very different on the nose. And the nose as well, yeah. And this one actually has more of a funkey flavor. Some people described it like a blue cheese taste to it.
There is a taste. There's a small kind of burn, there is a small explosion just underneath you diaphragm. It gives you a small levitation and lift.
I lost the power of speech.
Now back to the job in hand, we need Baijiu that we can take on New Year’s Eve, and we’re cooking dumplings. Which one goes well with dumplings?
I would recommend the lighter aroma, Shanxi Fenjiu. This is the most popular in Beijing area.
Thanks Simon. Not at all. Mission accomplished, it’s the right light Baijiu for us.
Meanwhile, Annt Anstead has been one of the oldest distilleries in China to unravel the mysteries of Baijiu.#### 00:30:50 – 00:33:25
