Winding lanes drift the fragrance of wine and tea

Sanbai wine, a liquor distilled from white rice is still made by hand in old-fashioned distilleries, which started as early as the 14th century. The thick, strong smell of Sanbai wine, the most famous alcoholic drink in the water town, can permeate the air, pleasing the palate with its soft and lasting mellowness.

Either drinking in the vintage distillery as fresh wine drips into the jar, or having a glass of Sanbai wine on a stool in a restaurant, it is a great way to enjoy one's time in Wuzhen.
