Gouqi jiu (zh:枸杞酒) is a variety of Chinese alcoholic beverage made from wolfberry (gouqi in Chinese).
There are three distinct kinds of gouqi jiu: those which are distilled, those which are fermented, and those that are produced by steeping wolfberries in another kind of baijiu.
There is also beer made with wolfberries.
