At this price I will be happy to give it a go
Red Star Erguotou is famous for its "mellow entrance, scrispy taste, and refreshing fragrance", which is also the overall style and characteristic of the Red Star Erguotou series. The "fresh and mellow" Red Star hails from 1680’s Qing Dynasty and is the warmest memory of generations of drinkers.
still doesnt mean it wont taste like toilet cleaner.
made my day, mate, made my day
now I don't even care Essendon or Hawthorn
I will just pour some toilet cleaner to drown my sorrows
Order 2 bottles or more and get 20% off with the code PAPDY20. Note you need to use afterpay.
Very strong and direct characteristic. Often who drinks this would more likely a direct person. Not good to mix with anything, but very good to drink straight while eating Chinese style BBQ (eg lamb skewers) with friends.
Much preferred downing 2.5rmb longnecks over street BBQ!
Little over a year ago and I was doing it debating if this 'thing' will pass in a few weeks. alas…
scrispy
Is that even a real word?
smooth yet crispy? Scrispy…
Let’s get scrispy Morty!
Anywhere a guy can squanch around here?
It is now
It's a perfectly cromulent word
Something about paying more than 20 yuan for erguotou rubs me the wrong way.
Just like paying more than 10 for Tsingtao.
$23 of it is excise tax and GST…
I should post a photo from last time I was in China, at one of their supermarkets.
71.20 yuan for 5l of this stuff.
That's $14.
And this one is relatively expensive.
I called it "The hangover aisle"
Ed: Oh, and it was the 52% version there.
Woah that's 5x cheaper than goon!

Here you go 59.9rmb/5lt from 2019 Chengdu, China.
Sh*t would strip paint I bet, never tried the cheap stuff (and there was wayyy cheaper and probably fake) in the villages.
In China, this is really cheap to buy - less than AUD $6.

So are the cigarettes.
Yes tax on cigarettes is extremely high in Australia.
Please don’t get me wrong. That it’s cheap in China doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not good quality. It’s actually very popular in China and has a long history.
Yea mate. The tax is unreal!
very true, $2 cigarettes from China are selling for $27+ here
You can get a slightly smaller bottle of this at Asian liquor stores for around $11 a bottle. Same brand green bottle.
It’s cheaper buying from Asian Groceries- around $10 - in the cooking wine section. Exactly the same as this one selling in Dan Murphy: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_ER_2000003617_69067…
I found it pretty amazing that you can sell these highly potent (and drinkable) liquor as cooking wines without attracting excise duty. I don't think they remotely quality as cooking wines based on their salt/sugar content which typically present in cooking wines to make them unpalatable for drinking.
i get it for $7.50
but you missed the Murphies review:
"You will not be disappointed when you buy this genuine Red-Star ER GUO TOU. You can tell the difference if you tasted the look-like bottles before from the dodgy groceries."
im not paying $40 to find it if thats true, the 7.50 does the job well
I used to buy them years ago from those Chinese grocery stores. Chinese uses Baijiu as cooking wine, the same way as the westerners using wine for cooking.
It is a ripoff don’t buy it. $50 for a case of 6 in China.

Guojiao 1583 is good value in Australia, if you can get it below $150, even cheaper than in China. And tasted really nice - if you can ignore the young age.
Go and get it from China then.
I’m pretty sure it’s guojiao 1573 instead of 1583.
Diff company or just different product from the same company?
Rocket fuel…plain and simple
Rotgut made from grass that is mostly grown to feed animals.
Did anyone else not get their order? I got a tracking number-
"Shipping information approved by Australia Post 22 Mar 2021" but no updates since.
Finally, a Baiju deal in a bottle that doesn't look like toilet cleaner.
