Chinese 'Baijiu' - a potent Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage. The name baijiu literally means "white liquor," "white alcohol" or "white spirits." Chinese often mistakenly translate baijiu as "wine" or "white wine", but it is a distilled liquor, not a wine. Baijiu is a clear drink usually distilled from sorghum, although sometimes other grains may be used. Baijiu is generally about 80 to 120 proof (40-60% pure alcohol), making it a potent (and potentially dangerous) spirit.
