Brand Story
Sifeng, a liquor brand from Zhejiang, traces its roots possibly to the Ming and Qing dynasties, though its exact founding year has not been officially confirmed. Local chronicles and folk records indicate that winemaking in Zhejiang has flourished since ancient times, and Sifeng may have been one of the many local breweries. Using high-quality local water and grains, it adhered to ancient methods, developing a distinctive flavor. The name 'Sifeng' (斯风) implies 'the style of refinement,' possibly linked to the literati culture of Jiangnan, reflecting the deep connection between wine and scholarly gatherings. However, due to a lack of systematic historical records, its early development remains unclear, and key figures are not documented. In modern times, Sifeng has attempted to revive traditional techniques, but corporate information is scattered, and no public data on the owning company is available. Culturally, Sifeng represents the folk heritage of Zhejiang's wine culture and serves as a clue for studying local dietary customs, though its historical status requires further verification.

Cultural Note
Sifeng's brewing technique is presumed to follow traditional Zhejiang yellow wine (huangjiu) methods, including soaking rice, steaming, placing in jars, fermenting, and pressing. It emphasizes brewing in winter and maturing in spring, utilizing natural temperature variations. The starter (qu) is likely made from local wheat, focusing on the microbial environment, but specific details remain unverified due to missing historical records. This craft reflects the agricultural wisdom of the Jiangnan water towns and is closely tied to local folk festivals.
