Rice Wine

[Aus_MD]

What are the best brands of baijiu (rice wine)? I used to be given a fair bit of Moutai (and didn't realize how expensive it was). My favorite came in a crystal bottle, with a crystal carving inside, but I have no idea what it was called. Comparable with single malts, IMHO.

I've been living in China for a couple years and I have yet to grow accustomed to the stuff. I've tried the Moutai and the expensive stuff, but I hate it. The stuff in the crystal bottles really varies. The Moutai in the thick white bottle is decent, but expensive. Wuliangye (五粮液) is a pretty big brand here.
