I began importing Chinese Rice Wine in August 2008, after not being able to find it in Portland, Oregon, or online. I figured that if I wanted it, and couldn't find it, then there must be others in the same situation. Little did I know it would take me ~2 years to get the necessary permits, licenses, and approvals to import it into the US, and begin selling it!

What we import is Drinking-Quality Chinese Rice Wine from a private brewer in Shaoxing, China. Although we promote it as a Premium Import, there is a significant percentage of our customers that use it to cook with as the Chinese cooking wine tastes horrible, and they add a bunch of salt to it so that it can qualify as a cooking ingredient, and the importers can avoid the higher taxes imposed on alcohol...not to mention the red tape!
