Cassia wine
Cassia wine, osmanthus wine, or Kuei Hua Chen Chiew is an alcoholic Chinese drink, sometimes sweetened, produced from weak baijiu and flavored with sweet osmanthus flowers. It is distilled, but typically has an alcohol content less than 20%.
While the plant itself is sometimes associated with cinnamon,〔Small, Ernest. ''Top 100 Food Plants'', (p. 179 ). NRC Research Press (Ottawa), 2009. Accessed 8 November 2013.〕 the blossoms' lactones impart a flavor closer to apricots and peaches.〔Chartier, Francois. ''Taste Buds and Molecules: The Art and Science of Food, Wine, and Flavor'', (p. 199 ). John Wiley & Sons (Hoboken), 2012. Accessed 8 November 2013.〕
Owing to the timing of the plant's blossoms, cassia wine is the traditional choice〔Qiu Yaohong. ''Origins of Chinese Tea and Wine'', (p. 121 ). Asiapac Books (Singapore), 2004. Accessed 7 November 2013.〕〔Liu Junru. ''Chinese Food'', (p. 136 ). Cambridge Univ. Press (Cambridge), 2011. Accessed 7 November 2013.〕 for the "reunion wine" drunk on the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival.〔Li Zhengping. ''Chinese Wine'', (p. 101 ). Cambridge University Press (Cambridge), 2011. Accessed 8 November 2013.〕 From the homophony between and (meaning "long" in the sense of time passing), cassia wine is also a traditional gift for birthdays in China.〔Li Xiaoxiang. ''Origins of Chinese People and Customs'', (p. 101 ). Asiapac Books (Singapore), 2004.〕 It is also considered a medicinal wine in traditional Chinese medicine.〔Flaws, Bob. ''Chinese Medicinal Wines & Elixers'', (p. 17 ). Blue Poppy (Boulder), 1994. ISBN 0936185589. Accessed 8 November 2013.〕 Li Shizhen's ''Compendium of'' Materia Medica credits sweet osmanthus with "curing the hundred diseases" and "raising the spirit".〔"." – (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/Li Shizhen" TITLE="Li Shizhen">Li Shizhen ).

Within China, cassia wine is associated with Xi'an〔Xiang Yang. ''Xi'an – China's Ancient Capital'', pp. 90 ff. Foreign Languages Press (Beijing), 1993.〕 and Guizhou,〔〔China Directory of Industry and Commerce and Economic Annual, Vol. 2, pp. 429–430. Xinhua Publishing, 1984.〕 but production now occurs throughout China, including Beijing〔''China Market'', Issue 11, p. 15. China Market Publishing Corporation, 1987.〕 and at the Hong Jiang Winery in Hunan.〔''Zhonghua Mei Jiu'', p. 408. 中国轻工业出版社, China. 食品工业局. 轻工业出版社, 1985. Accessed 8 November 2013. 〕
