Derek Sandha, who came from France, wasdressed in formal suit on Thursday morning in a hall. It was so quiet that youcould hear yourself breathe.

It was the first time that baijiuofficially became a category of spirits to be tasted. The event was organizedby Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, established in 1994 and dubbed the"United Nations of fine wines".

He suggested makers lower its level ofalcohol, or that people mix it with other drinks to make cocktails, for easieracceptance by Westerners.
