浓香型白酒 The second blank 型 is type and, as I guess you saw from wikipedia, 白酒 is baijiu. i.e. "浓香 type baijiu" Where 浓香 is something to do with fragrance like you said. I don't know the first character 浓, I can't even type it! Actually I don't even know Chinese so this information might be worth precisely what you just paid for it ;-) I have no idea if that'll make it through the PDML mail server, let alone be visible on your own screen. -- Eric -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
