Seems to me that learning how to make any kind of beer would be a good idea. No not to suck up to the Chinese. But times are gonna get rough and all those SUV's are gonna consume all the corn squeezings.

I will rip off an old underground comic (The Fablous Furry Freak Brothers) and say it another way. Booze will get you through times of no gasoline better than gasoline will get you through times of no booze.

The alcoholic beverage (not actually wine) made from rice is "sake," although this term is a more general term for booze in modern Japan. The traditional rice-based beverage is more precisely known as "nihonshu."
