To make the famous delicious wine, local people have to pick more than 30 types of medicinal leaves to make yeast, then take the corn and pour it into cooking. When the corn grows as big as a finger, pour it out to dry to cool down. Next, the yeast is pounded, mixed well and piled up, and brewed thoroughly in bags. After a week, it was taken out and stored into wine. Thien Huong wine is wonderfully processed, has a delicious, sweet taste, drinks with a smooth and warm feeling, unlike other traditional wines.
