Baijiu
Baijiu (Kinesiska: 白酒; pinyin: báijiǔ, uttalat [pǎɪ̯ t͡ɕi̯òʊ̯]), eller shaojiu (烧酒)är en kinesisk spritdryck. Namnet betyder bokstavligt talat "vit sprit" eller "vit alkohol", men översätts ofta som "vin" eller "vitt vin". Det rör sig i själva verket om starksprit, med en alkoholhalt på mellan 35% och 68%. Därmed är den betydligt starkare än exempelvis japansk shōchū (25%) eller koreansk soju (20–45%).
Drycken framställs vanligen av durra (sorghum), men även ris och olika typer av spannmål används ibland.
