What is the difference between Hua Diao Wine and regular cooking wine?

Regular Cooking Wine: Simpler flavor profile, mainly used to remove fishy smell and enhance aroma, not intended for drinking.

3. Usage

Hua Diao Wine: Can be used for both cooking (such as braising, stewing, and drunken dishes) and drinking in some cases.

Regular Cooking Wine: Mainly used in cooking to remove odors, reduce greasiness, and enhance flavor.

4. Price & Positioning

Hua Diao Wine: Higher production cost due to aging and traditional craftsmanship, positioned as a premium cooking and drinking wine.
