Elevating Yellow Rice Wine: Riverside Design Studio’s Packaging Design Inspired by Shaoxing’s Cultural Landscape

Elevating Yellow Rice Wine: Riverside Design Studio’s Packaging Design Inspired by Shaoxing’s Cultural Landscape

Yellow Rice Wine
The design is inspired by the water and bridges in Shaoxing, as well as the white walls and black tiles in Jiangnan. The highly abstract special-shaped bottle label is used to express the image of the bridge and white walls and black tiles.
Together with the flowing water and corrugated relief on the bottle, the entire packaging is more layered and playful.

Yellow Rice Wine is one of the oldest wines in the world. It originates from China and is unique to China. It is a brewed wine and is one of the three ancient wines in the world along with beer and wine.

Shaoxing wine mainly refers to the rice wine produced in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China. It is a type of brewed wine.
Shaoxing wine is brewed with refined white glutinous rice and Jianhu spring water. The alcohol content is about 14-18 degrees. It is often used as a seasoning or drunk directly. According to its brewing method, it can be divided into Yuanhong wine, Jiafan wine, Shanniang wine and Fenggang wine (also known as “Xiangxue wine” in Shaoxing area). Its unique flavor also made it popular in Kuaiji, so much so that every household rushed to brew and drink it. Kong Qun, the Zhongcheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, used all the 700 dan of sorghum collected in a year for brewing, but it was still not enough for brewing. [1] At the same time, Shaoxing wine was also a favorite drink of many famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Before drinking Shaoxing rice wine, first pour the wine into the wine jar, add some wax and bamboo leaves, wrap the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves and oil paper, then seal the mouth of the jar with clay, place it in the steamer, and then boil the wine at a temperature of 80-90℃ to sterilize it, and finally filter the sediment. Boiling Shaoxing rice wine can make it more flavorful and prevent it from becoming rancid. [2] Aged Shaoxing rice wine is commonly known as old wine.
