Pagoda Brand Rice Wine is made by hand, by people, not by a modern mass production line. Each bottle of Pagoda rice wine is a craftsman’s work with its own unique personality. The best rice wine is made at Dongzhi through a minimum of 11 months of natural fermentation. The word "Dong" means "winter," while "Zhi" means "arrival," giving the literal meaning of the festival "the coming of winter."

Shaoxing rice wine has a history of two thousand years. The traditional brewing techniques accumulated by generations of winemakers through continuous repetition and exploration are the foundation of Shaoxing wine and the soul that can never be abandoned or changed. Shaoxing rice wine has always emphasized winter brewing. The temperature in winter is most suitable for brewing, especially the rice wine brewed around winter, which is the best of the year.
Pagoda Brand Shaoxing rice wine uses high-quality polished glutinous rice soaked in Jianhu water for eighteen days, undergoing lactic acid fermentation, and then steaming the rice. After the glutinous rice is steamed, it is manually transported to the workshop and poured into large vats. wheat Qu (koji), Jianhu water, etc., are added, entering the early fermentation process, namely, the vat fermentation. The brewing technicians, especially the master brewers, carefully control the fermentation of each vat of wine based on the intensity of the wine aroma and the temperature. After the early fermentation is completed, it is transferred to open-air storage for the later fermentation. The wine mash needs to continue to ferment in these wine vats at low temperatures in the winter for three months to mature into wine. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and heated. Pressing the wine is to remove the wine lees, and heating the wine is to sterilize it. After these steps, the brewed wine is poured into jars and transported to the warehouse for storage.
绍兴酒有着两千年的历史，一代又一代的酿酒师们在不断的重复和探索中积累下来的传统酿酒工艺，是绍兴酒之根本，也是永远不能放弃和改变的灵魂。绍兴酒自古以来便讲究冬酿，冬季的温度最宜酿酒，尤其是在冬季前后酿出的黄酒，是一年之中最好的。
塔牌绍兴酒采用优质精白糯米，用鉴湖水浸泡十八天，进行乳酸发酵，再取出蒸饭。糯米蒸熟后，由人工运到车间内倒入大缸中，然后加入麦曲、鉴湖水等，进入前期发酵过程，即落缸发酵。而酿酒技工——开粑师傅，则每时每刻的根据酒香的浓淡、温度的高低，认真的控制着每一缸酒的发酵老嫩。前期发酵完成后，就灌坛露天堆放进行后期发酵，已成为酒的醅还须在这酒坛中继续在冬季低温下酝酿3个月才能成熟为酒。发酵结束后就是榨酒和煎酒。榨酒是为了去除酒糟，煎酒是为了杀菌，经过这些步骤之后，酿好的酒才被灌入坛中，运往仓库贮存。
