Alcohol content is measured by ethanol. The concentration of ethanol in yellow rice wine is low, but the content of higher alcohols is much higher than that in distilled liquor, especially the content of n-amyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol is higher. So you think that the alcohol content of yellow rice wine is lower than that of white wine, so you can drink a lot, but because you consume a lot of higher alcohol, then you don't have it. Moreover, yellow wine belongs to fermented wine, and white wine belongs to distilled wine. In distillation, because the boiling point of ethanol is lower than that of water, and the boiling points of isobutanol and isoamyl alcohol are higher than that of water, the fusel content of liquor is actually very low after distillation separation.
Moreover, because the alcohol content of yellow rice wine is not high, the alcohol content is low, the taste is sweet, and it is easy to eat, especially for friends who drink yellow rice wine for the first time, they often drink more yellow rice wine than white wine, and the more they drink, the more they don't know what it is that you are drunk ... White wine is high in alcohol content, spicy and unpalatable, and almost drunk, so their stomachs will feel first and stop.
The active wine yeast (Fangxian chrysanthemum wine) in yellow rice wine enters the stomach for secondary fermentation, and the intake of fusel is much higher than that of drinking white wine. For example, you can drink 1 kg of 52-degree white wine and 13-degree yellow wine with friends, so you won't just drink 1 kg. How can it exceed 2 kg?
