What is a Chinese rice wine warmer?
Chinese rice wine is traditionally warmed before being consumed. A rice wine warmer is a kitchen accessory that comes in a variety of sizes, and shapes. They are typically made of tin, ceramic or porcelain. The temperature to which the wine may be warmed ranges between approximately 95°F to 130°F (35° and 55°C). Warming the beverage allows its aromas to be better appreciated by the drinker without losing too much alcohol. Optimal temperature for warming depends on the type of wine as well as the preference of the drinker.
