Baijiu is THE traditional alcohol of China; as far as I know, this the first English language guide to the many varieties of Baijiu available in China. Page by page distillery profiles; cocktail recipes as well as much about the etiquette and culture pertaining to this national drink. I bought this book to learn more about it, but have to admit that I can‘t stand the stuff; give me a gin & tonic any day!
