Mellow, and with the alcohol percentage of about 15%, the Sumali Wine is the most inseparable drink of the Pumi ethnic minority. This kind of wine is normally brewed from cereals such as wheat, (highland) barley, and corn etc.
Sometimes only a single kind of cereal is used for brewing, and sometimes several kinds. The taste of Sumali wine depends on what is brewed from.
For hundreds of years, the Sumali wine has been a top-grade drink of Pumi people. People drink it to quench thirst when farming; it's also served at festivals, celebrations and obsequies; and it can even be used as enhancement for doctor's prescriptions.
In 1988, at the first anniversary of Lanping Bai and Pumi Autonomous County, the Sumali Wine was determined as "the County Wine of Lanping".
