  Matching Wine and Rice - DiWineTaste
Rice is among the most ancient cereals known by humans: it is believed it was already used for nutritional purposes 6,000 years ago; other theories support the idea the first forms of cultivation can be dated back to 8,000 years ago in the island of Java and in Cambodia.
Rice proves its incredible versatility in the gastronomical cooking of every country in the world, from recipes made of “simple” boiled rice, to the most elaborated and complex recipes where the rice is united to sumptuous flavors.
The use of rice in cooking is mainly determined by its resistance to cooking and its stickiness, that is the capacity of releasing starch during cooking.

 Rice wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rice wine refers to alcoholic beverages made from rice.
However, unlike true wine, which is made by fermenting grapes and sometimes other fruit, rice "wine" is more akin to beer, in that it is brewed from grain.
Rice brew typically has a higher alcohol content (18-25%) than wine (10-14%), which in turn has a higher alcohol content than beer (4-8%).

 Sake World - The Rice
Rice has always been a staple part of the Japanese diet.
Thus, the rice available for sake brewing was understandably limited, and brewing itself was confined to the winter months, when lower temperatures and cleaner winter air provided the best conditions for brewing and storage (natural refrigeration helped keep sake fresh for consumption months after it was brewed).
Premium sake is brewed with special rice in which the starch component (the shinpaku or "white heart") is concentrated at the center of the grain, with proteins, fats, and amino acids located toward the outside.

 TED Case Study -- Ricewine
Some in Taiwan are formulating plans to market rice wine with salt added to make a distinction between rice wine as an alcoholic beverage and cooking ingredient in hopes of evading the WTO measures.
Even though the use of rice wine for recreational drinking purposes is only at 1.7% of the total alcoholic beverage consumption in Taiwan, as stated by Cheng Hsiung-chu, director general of the TTWB, WTO does not make any distinction between the use of alcohol for cooking and drinking.
This is probably the most relevant to the rice wine case study because it is the removal of the subsidy on rice wine before Taiwan's ascension to the WTO that led to a five-fold increase in the price.

 Asia Times
Not surprisingly, toward the end of last year a rice wine crisis slowly developed as it became clear that people were buying large quantities of the condiment and hoarding it to offset the price increase.
It could be that the free tests tempted those who had special reason to worry about their rice wine - price unusually low, taste not what it should be, feelings of sickness after eating - and were not representative of the island's rice wine supply as a whole.
On the other hand it might be that there is a huge reserve of potentially deadly rice wine out there, necessitating a massive campaign to alert consumers to the dangers of cheap rice wine and to smash the bootleggers who produce such stuff.
