Side effects of glutinous rice wine

Glutinous rice wine is made by fermenting steamed glutinous rice with alcohol. It has a sweet and mellow taste without alcohol. For most people, drinking glutinous rice wine in moderation generally has no obvious side effects, and the nutrients in it are more easily absorbed by the body after fermentation, which can promote digestion, increase appetite, warm cold and replenish deficiency, relax muscles and activate collaterals.

However, for a small number of people who are allergic to alcohol or glutinous rice, drinking glutinous rice wine will cause skin rashes, itching all over the body, laryngeal edema, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, so it is best not to drink glutinous rice wine. For patients with chronic gastritis, chronic gastric ulcer and other digestive tract diseases, drinking glutinous rice wine will aggravate gastrointestinal discomfort, so they should drink less or not at all.

Glutinous rice wine is a product of fermentation and is easily contaminated during the production process. Therefore, when making homemade glutinous rice wine, you must strictly control the time to prevent contamination by miscellaneous bacteria. If there is white fuzz on the surface after fermentation, it is generally fermented normally and is drinkable. If there are black spots on the surface after fermentation, it means it is contaminated and cannot be drunk.
