Origin of Rice & Grape Takju
Grape was first introduced into Korea during the Goryo Dynasty from China. Wines made from grapes started from this era but, not anyone could make these kinds of fruit wines.
Grape wines recorded in during the Joseon era (Mid 18c ~ 19c) were made by mixing grape juice with steamed glutinous rice and wheat powder. Records in the Chinese also records that grape wines were made by mixing grape juice with rice and wheat powder which is quite different from the modern grape wines that are made purely with grapes. Thus, based on these records, we assume that grape wines made during the Goryo Dynasty were also these kinds of grain mixed wines.
