Korean Rice Wine, Made with a Little Magic and Lots of Love
Step into the heart of Korean drinking culture with our Original Makgeolli (500ml Bottle) — a beautifully smooth, lightly sparkling rice wine that has been enjoyed in Korea for centuries.

Made through natural fermentation and crafted to highlight the purity of rice and time-honoured techniques, this makgeolli is simple, honest, and deeply satisfying — just as it was meant to be.
