Lao rice wine

In a 2005 article about Lao cuisine, The New York Times described a "pink, fizzy" rice wine called "khao kam" or "lao khao kam." Does anyone know about this? Badagnani 22:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Answer

Yes, I know about this from my Lao trip 2008 as dark red, brown or "black" rice liquor (khao = rice) from the Ban Xanghai region South between Luang Prabang an Pak Ou. It is obviously NOT a liquor or distilled spirit, it is rather naturally brewed "sour mash and yeast" fermented and made of red glutinous sticky rice. If it is made fine, it tastes excellent like a sweet-sour dark Madeira wine, if not, it tastes like rotten mould. --100humbert (talk) 09:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum

The boatman then handed me another glass, this one containing a syrupy red liquid with the consistency of cough medicine. "Fermentee riz noir et sucre," he explained. I struggled to remember the name of the traditional rice wine popular in northern Laos. "Lao khao... Lao khao...," I started to say. "Oui, Lao khao kam," he replied. "Dee lai lai!" I swallowed the shot and immediately thought of cough syrup again. Actually, it wasn't that bad, but the wine left a stale rice aftertaste that almost had me longing for another shot of Lao-Lao. The boatman's friend offered me a bottle, ...

Rice ethanol

What about rice ethanol as ethanol fuel ?. --Mac (talk) 06:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answer

Not relevant neither in South China (Szechuan Region) nor in Laos, as gasoil and Diesel prices float around 30 EUR ct or 45 USD ct per liter as of May 2008. Thailand is an exporter of rice to Europe; no info about ethanol. --100humbert (talk) 09:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beer

The alcohol content of beer range is innacurate, it should either be changed to "averaging 4-8%", or the higher proof beers need to be represented. Many beers can range from 10 to 12 % ABV, and though not common, there are beers approaching 27% ABV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.50.81 (talk) 23:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nepalese rice wine?

Raksi can be made from rice, but it is distilled and therefore not a "wine". Grain-based alcoholic drinks in Nepal are probably better classified as "beers" using a mashing process, not conversion of starch to sugar via molds. LADave (talk) 20:54, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
