The Beijing favorite is called Erguotou, which is 56% alcohol. More expensive are Maotai and Wuliangye.
Miss Liu: Wouldn’t you care for a cup of Erguotou?
Brown: I’m afraid it’s a bit too strong for me. I’m not used to strong drinks. It’ll go to my head.

Brown: OK. I’ll try a drop then.
Bartender: A drop won’t hurt, I promise. What else do you need, sir?
Brown: Maybe some Chinese wine.
Miss Liu: Zhangyu wines are good. Zhangyu winery has a history of more than a hundred years.
Brown: OK, then. Please give me a glass of Zhangyu Red Wine. And that’s all for me.
Bartender: Good. I would be right back with your order.
