This wine market is in Bac Ha, about 70 km away from Lao Cai, where Mong Hao ethnic people live and produce a really special kind of wine made out of corn. For Mong Hao people, a man eating no meat and drinking no wine can never be a real man. Around 500 Mong Hao families living in this area cook wine and sell their unique wine every Sunday at this wine market. When you visit this market, you can taste this special wine and see how ethnic people are living in Vietnam. People here are also very friendly and willing to help you with everything too. If you are invited to some festivals they have in the evening, don't try to refuse because this might be a wonderful chance for you to see how their life really is. Very generous to guests, but they may live in poverty. By the way, be careful though because this wine is not like red or white wine, it contains around 42-45% alkohol, with which you can also grill.
