Glutinous rice wine is much sweeter and do not have the harsh, bitter taste like Shaoxing wine. My aunt cooks amazing Hakka dishes and even brew her own glutinous rice wine at home. It is a laborious process which takes more than 3 months but the end result is satisfying. However, you can easily buy a bottle of glutinous wine from shops, the end result is just as aromatic.
