[edit] Are you sure

Are you sure nu'er hong (女儿红) is both classified as the high grade Shaoxing wine and the lower grade Huadiao jiu? It is listed in 2 places? Or am I reading the pronounciations wrong and nü'er hong is not the same as nu'er hong? Benjwong (talk) 21:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

All I said was that the name of this wine should not be removed from the article, as it is a well known variety of Shaoxing/huangjiu. Badagnani (talk) 21:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking THE shaoxing wine should not be mixed with regular wine from shaoxing. I don't know if you get what I am trying to say. Like people call a number of things "shaoxing wine", but there really is a 1 and only. At least that is how I interpret it. Benjwong (talk) 21:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Whatever the case, there's no brand name "Shaoxing wine"; it's a style. Nü'er hong should be restored to the article; if your sources show it to have a different description, then fix the description rather than blanking it (originally without comment). Badagnani (talk) 23:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
If nu'er hong/nü'er hong (女儿红/女兒紅) is all the same thing, then it is already in the right place in the article under Huadiao jiu. Benjwong (talk) 19:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Mention of Nü'er hong should not have been blanked from the "Huangjiu" article, which is the overall heading for all fermented (i.e., non-distilled) wines in China. Please restore it. Badagnani (talk) 19:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
What do you mean? It is still in the article. Nothing was deleted. Benjwong (talk) 19:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I seem to remember it had been deleted earlier. Badagnani (talk) 20:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
