420W Journal #4

Because of Pascal's last exellent journal which about the Guinness. I'd like to introduce a troditional Chinese alcohol,baijiu. The name baijiu literally means "white liquor," "white alcohol" or "white spirits". Baijiu is often mistakenly translated as "wine" or "white wine", but it is actually a distilled liquor, generally about 80 to 120 proof, or 40-60% alcohol by volume .Baijiu is a clear drink usually distilled from sorghum, although sometimes other grains may be used; baijiu varieties produced in southern China are typically made from glutinous rice, while those from northern China are generally made of sorghum, wheat, barley, millet, or occasionally Job's tears. Because of its clarity, baijiu can appear similar to several other liquors, but generally has a significantly higher ABV than, for example, Russian vodka (35-50%), Japanese shōchū (25%), or Korean soju (20-45%), and its flavour is distinctive and unique.I'm sure that everyone in our class may like the baijiu.
