To compare Chinese and western culture of wine, we should start from the origin of wine. In this aspect, the two sides have totally different ideas. Chinese people claim that man made wine while western people claim that god made wine. It spreads among people that Du Kang made wine. It is said that Du Kang was a shepherd. One day, when the sheep were grazing, he lost his bamboo bottle filled with rice porridge. After half a month, he regained the bottle and found that fermented rice porridge smelled nice. So he gave up the career of a shepherd and opened a wine shop. His wine was popular in no time. So Du Kang gradually became the synonym of wine. In the west, there are a lot of versions of wine origin. The most widely spread one is that the God of Wine made wine.
