Wine (note: the term "wine" will be used in this article in a more general sense as a translation for the Chinese term jiu [酒], the general term for all types of alcoholic drinks) in China can be traced back to the Shen Nong Period over 7,000 years ago when, legend has it, plants used in wine-making were already being cultivated.
中國酒的起源，最早可以追溯到七千多年前的神農時代。
