加热过的黄酒，营养丰富，酒香四溢，暖胃活血，尤其适合在江南的冬季小酌。在老街的酒铺里，见到那些划乌篷船的老爹爹，坐在四条腿的方桌旁，取一只浅浅的土陶碗，倒一碗黄酒，剥几粒茴香，细品慢嚼，悠然自得。

Warm huangjiu is very nutritious and particulary fragrant. It will warm your belly and improve your circulation. It's particularly suitable for drinking in winter in the area south of the Yangtze river. You see those old men who row the famous black-awning boats in the wine shops of the old street sitting beside the four legged square tables, picking up a shallow clay bowl, pouring in huangjiu, and peeling a few aniseed flavoured broad beans, sipping daintily at the wine while chewing slowly, at ease and content.
