According to different drinking situations, the best drinking temperature of Shaoxing Huangjiu can be divided into four ranges, namely 8-10 ℃, 16-18 ℃, 24-28 ℃ and 38-42 ℃.

Shaoxing Huangjiu can be divided into four types according to the sugar content: dry type, semi-dry type, semi-sweet type and sweet type. This classification method of Huangjiu is the same as that of wine. The grains are saccharified by distiller's yeast and wine medicine to make them ferment, and the sugar content in wine is accurately controlled.
