In an idle search for the etymology of the word 'rice'--at first I tried to find it in an Anglo-saxon dictionary-- I was led to LSJ entry ὄρυζα. And a reference utters οἴνος ἐξ ὀρύζης, Ael. NA13.8
Anybody know what this abbreviation points to, or what the material talks about the rice wine, whether it is a soju(distilled) or makguli(raw)?
rice wine

Thanks, Paul!
I found out a quote in http://www.slowfood.com/img_sito/rivist ... angjiu.pdf :
‘The elephant from a herd which has been tamed drinks water, but the fighting elephant drinks wine, but not wine made from grapes, because they [the Indians: editor’s note] make it from both rice and bamboo canes’.
Well, it doesn't specify the details.

You are right, there are no details.
