  "textContent": "Over the last few decades, there’s been a makgeolli boom in Korea and around the rest of the world. While this beverage is typically referred to as a rice wine in English, it’s not quite a wine, nor a beer, and despite its similar appearance, not a sake. Instead, makgeolli fits squarely into the vast universe of sool, the Korean word for alcohol as well as Korea’s all-encompassing category of rice alcohol. This cloudy brew needs only three ingredients: rice, water, and nuruk, a dynamic fermentation starter full of wild yeasts, bacteria, and grain, typically wheat.\n\nThe article A Comprehensive Guide to Makgeolli, Plus 11 to Try appeared first on VinePair.",
