《中国酒》杂志编辑部最近向我约稿。我心想去年有兴趣动笔写了六七十篇关于酒的文章,都是很短的,其中一定有不少尚未发表,可以选出一篇来交卷,因而很痛快地答应了。后来一想,我最近接触到几个人,他们很热心有关中国酒的事业,正在组织有关酒的销售这方面的事。他们把葡萄酒和啤酒放在中国酒之外,我对他们说了一下不同的看法,承蒙他们接受了。这事启发了我:既然是给《中国酒》杂志投稿,何不就以这三个字为题,写一篇小文,讲讲“中国酒”三个字的概念呢? 第一步就是去找工具书。一是大百科全书出版社1992年出版的《中国烹饪百科全书》(我还挂了一个这部工具书顾问的名义呢),二是《不列颠简明百科全书》。不出意料之外,这两部书都没有《中国酒》这样一个条目。正好我又收到贵州人民出版社出的《酒典》,也没有这个条目,于是就只好自己去杜撰了。酒这个东西,世界上各个民族彼 China Wine magazine editorial department recently sent me a draft.
