Daughter in Red-One Kind of Chinese Wine

Daughter in Red is one kind of Chinese wine. There is a legend about its origin.
Once upon a time, there was a tailor in the countryside of Shaoxing. His wife was pregnant. He thought the child shall be a son. He intended to have a celebration when his child was born, so he requested a famous brewer to brew some fine rice wine to celebrate with his relatives and friends at that time. However, things went contrary to his wishes, his wife gave birth to a daughter, which was like pouring cold water on his eager heart. He was so disappointed that he buried the wine under the osmanthus tree in the backyard. Time flew, the girl grew up into a smart girl with good features and was likeable. She was fully conversant with tailoring, and embroidered very well. The business of the tailor’s became better and better. The tailor was so happy and decided to let his daughter marry his best apprentice. On the wedding night, he suddenly remembered the wine he buried more than ten years ago. Then he dug them out and shared them with the attendees. When he uncorked the bottles, the full-bodied fragrance floated out of the container. The wine with mellow flavor was so tasty and left endless aftertaste in people. Then people called it “Daughter in Red” or “Daughter Wine."
Afterward, when people there gave birth to daughters, they buried some wine under the ground as well. Then they dug out the wine when their daughters got married. It gradually evolved into a local custom.

The name of the wine is a proper noun so it should be capitalized.

Someone who brews is a brewer, but we brew beer, not wine. One who makes wine is a vintner.

We would say "these wine bottles," or "the wine." Most wine bottles are sealed with a cork, so we uncork the bottle or uncork the wine.

If the daughter is now getting married, I would hope the wine is over ten years old. It's probably closer to twice that old.

We might also say "shared them with those in attendance."

This is another nice story, I enjoy reading them.

Wow！White wine! You are a woman hero. Lol. Daughter in Red is rice wine, whose color is brown. It is fermented by glutinous rice, brown sugar and so on.
