Archaeologists uncovered a well-preserved Warring States grain wine from a sealed bronze pot. The pot's unique double-layer seal kept the liquor intact for over two thousand years. Modern lab tests confirm the liquid is fermented grain wine crafted by people from the ancient Qin State. This rare relic proves ancient China owned mature brewing skills and fills local archaeological research gaps. It supplies solid evidence for studying early Chinese food culture and traditional craftsmanship.
