What wines drinks in Vietnam

Glutinous rice wine (Ruou nep)

Ruou nep is the traditional beverage of people in the Mekong Delta. Making glutinous rice wine is a really exhausting process. Glutinous rice after being cooked and cooled will be fermented with yeast and put into a jar sealed by a banana leaf for 3 to 5 months until harvesting. Ruou nep is divided into two types based on its consistency including the thicker version and the less viscous one. The thicker one is used with the spoon and the second one may be used as a beverage. This wine has brown-red color, attractive smell, and sherry-like favor.
