[edit] Merge proposal

Proposal: merge with Chinese wine. This article overlaps with that one. Badagnani 09:16, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. It should be independent. Baijiu is liquor, not wine. Even if the article 'Chinese Wines' covers baijiu, there should be an independent article about especially considering it is the liquor of choice for the most populous country in the world. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.4.231.134 (talk • contribs).

no -- it is not wine --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.48.141 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Add

To add to article: 1) small section on production with wikilink to the production section of the Chinese wine article; 2) discussion of how Chinese liquors are generally distilled only once, and not filtered, unlike vodka. Badagnani 06:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wuliangye photo

Why does the Wuliangye photo appear 2 times? Badagnani 09:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

No idea, I simply moved one photo down a bit. There are also two of gaoliang. Sjschen 18:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popular just in Beijing?

The article states the following under the section about Erguotou:

It is inexpensive, and thus particularly popular among blue-collar workers in Beijing.

Is it not popular among working classes in other parts of China, or at least in North China? --131.238.207.202 21:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been to Beijing and learned that it is particularly popular there, a kind of signature drink for cab drivers and blue collar workers. This may have something to do with its location of production. If you know for certain that it is popular in other regions of China as well, feel free to list those regions.

[edit] Chilled?

Is baijiu ever served chilled? Badagnani 05:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mixed drinks?

Is baijiu ever used in mixed drinks or cocktails? Badagnani 05:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I know of a "maotai cocktail", but I refuse to try it. Sjschen 05:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
