About Derek
Derek Sandhaus has published several books on Chinese history and culture, most recently Baijiu: The Essential Guide to Chinese Spirits. In 2018 Sandhaus cofounded Ming River Sichuan Baijiu in partnership with China’s oldest continually operational distillery. He serves as Ming River’s baijiu category education director and as the editor at DrinkBaijiu.com. He lives with his wife and dog in Washington, D.C.
PRAISE For Drunk in China
I have learned so much from Derek Sandhaus over the years, and Drunk in China is no exception. It’s not just about baijiu—although it offers a master class on the subject. It’s about China and its history, culture, and relationship with the West, told through the perspective of a witty, generous storyteller.
