“Rượu cần”, a type of rice wine drank from a jar through straws, is an indispensable drink that can be enjoyed at festivals of the Bahnar ethnic people in the Central Highland province of Gia Lai.
Women from the Bahnar ethnic group often gather together to make special wine in order to prepare for festivals.
The popular drink produced by the ethnic people in the Central Highlands is also used in traditional rituals and ceremonies.
It is made using glutinous rice mixed with corn, cassava, and millet, before being brewed with yeast made from herbs.
Ethnic women seek ways in which to remove the shells of the nuts.
Most notably, its taste is totally different compared to rice alcohol or any kind of spirit.
Herbal yeast is used to create “Rượu cần”, giving it a unique flavour.
Its sweet taste can make locals slightly drunk.
People often gather around the wine jar and drink together while singing and dancing.
