Ruou can, also known as tube wine in English, is a unique drink that can be
found in the mountainous regions of Central Vietnam like Tay Nguyen. It’s made
from rice and other herbs. The recipe differs in various ethnic minorities groups
depending on what is available in their surroundings. The ingredients are kept in a
ceramic jar for a month. Using a thin bamboo straw, people drink ruou can directly
from the jar. This drink is commonly served during a special celebration such as
weddings, New Year festivals…. People often gather around the wine jar and drink
together while singing and dancing. It’s considered an honour in many ethnic
groups to be offered this kind of rice wine.
