Buy Baijiu In The UK

If you have ever tried to buy baijiu in the UK, you’ll be aware of the logistical challenges. The fact is, this spirit is yet to gain any kind of traction in the west. You’re unlikely to find baijiu for sale in a traditional supermarket unless you’re in a particularly large and well-stocked branch.

It costs a pretty penny to import baijiu from China, and it hardly flies off the shelves due to unfamiliarity in the marketplace. This leaves you with two options. Head to an Asian supermarket and hope to find reputable baijiu brands for sale, or buy baijiu online.

Buy Baijiu Online

There are pros and cons to purchasing baijiu online. It is certainly more convenient that trawling your local towns and cities, hoping to find a bricks and mortar shop that stocks the spirit. There are a few things to bear in mind, though. Before you commit to a purchase, consider these golden rules.

Good baijiu is not cheap, and the market is flooded with forgeries. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Ensure the online seller ships from the UK. You’ll be hit with substantial customs charges if you import directly from China. Do your research. Ensure the baijiu taste profile matches your preferences.

The latter is especially important if you are new to this spirit. Obviously, we encourage anybody to buy baijiu and experience it for themselves. However, be aware that the liquor is unlike anything you’re likely to be familiar with. Do not allow a bad first impression to cloud your judgment of baijiu overall. The right bottle can make all the difference.

Once you’re ready to buy baijiu online, check Amazon first. As we all know, this is Jeff Bezos’ world and we’re just living in it. Amazon will host a range of sellers, with a stock that rotates and fluctuates wildly. Keep checking back and be patient. The right baijiu for will eventually show up.

Alternatively, you can Google your way through independent sellers. This is a path that should be walked with caution, though. Look into the site and sellers, ensuring they have a presence on sites like TrustPilot. Baijiu is a niche product with a small but dedicated target audience. This may attract unscrupulous sellers that will think nothing of trading in counterfeit spirits at conventional baijiu prices.

If you’re ready to take the plunge and try baijiu for yourself, choose which bottle will satisfy your palate most. You’ll find a full guide to baijiu brands here. In the meantime, let’s take a moment to discuss some of the most popular bottles of baijiu for sale.

As you will know by now, baijiu is categorized by aroma. Baijiu is always clear. It is not like wine, available in red, white or rosé. Unlike rum, baijiu is not divided by light or dark spirits. It differs from whisky in that there not multiple quantities of distillation or offshoots. The aroma, however, dictates which ingredients and herbs are used in the production process. This will impact on the taste of the baijiu.
