Q: Best Chinese alcohol in the 10-20% range?

Thinking of bringing home certain gifts for friends for Christmas, some of which are booze aficionados of sorts...

Now, with beer in China tastes like water interspersed with a few drops of mule urine and baijiu smelling and tasting like a 14th century experimental cure for madness, I was wondering if there were some good Chinese alcohols in the 10-20% range. Looking for brand name and price estimates here.

One, what's best for me may not be best for you.

And "real" booze on China is not in the range you seek, 10 to 20 % alcohol content.  They more or less start at 40 % and from there up.

Moitai (not the cheap one) can be as much as 120 %, and no matter how used to drinking, after two glasses your knees will start to buckle some.  Depending on quality, from around 80 Rmb up.

Juangjiu dry (less than 1 % sugar content (could be as high as 20 % and too sweet for me) may run you around 60 to 80 Rmb.

Wuliangye, distilled without the wicked influence of sorghum, clocks in at about one hundred proof compared to moutai’s one twenty, and thus is easier to indulge in without having to slip off for a ‘bathroom break’. At 450-550 Rmb for a nice bottle, it’s perfect for a celebratory dinner.

Remember, we Westeners drink for the sake of drinking, Chinese drink mostly with dinner or while eating.

Man, I don't like any of those. If I'm looking for something in that range, I go to a big department store and get me some imported Korean soju, which is just about the best liquor they sell in China.

Wolfberry (goqi) wine... it can be found basically anywhere and doesn't have the demon piss flavor that baijiu has.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
