Bau Da wine-making village - famous in Binh Dinh.

The ancients said that, at Cu Lam mound, Nhon Loc commune, An Nhon district, there was a Bau (local name for "pond", "valley") about 3000 square meters wide - people in the area called Bau Da (because in Bau has a lot of rocks). Some people who have a career in winemaking have found that the water here is pure and sweet, suitable for making wine, so they use it to make wine.

The ingredients you need are rice and sticky rice or green beans, each batch uses about 7.2 kg of rice.

After the rice is cooked, let it cool, then mix it with yeast and brew it in a plastic bucket. After 3 days, the rice wakes up with the scent of wine yeast, and it is mixed in 16 liters of clear well water and incubated for another 2 days.

Finally, put the rice wine in the pot and continue to cook for 5 hours. Bau Da wine will be distilled through a bamboo tube connected from the cooking pot to the condenser. One batch can yield about 4 liters of pure alcohol.

Bau ice wine should be drunk when poured into a glass. If left in the wind for a long time, the wine will become cloudy (due to evaporation and oxidation). Bau Da wine chilled to drink with dried squid, Nem market Huyen is great.
