That is a distilled spirit.

Mijiu:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mijiu

is what would be a rice wine. Wikipedia listed it going back as far as 1000 BCE.

It is considered more of a wine than an ale presumably due to the alcohol content, the type of yeast used and how it is usually consumed, despite being a grain beverage (somewhat like barleywine only more so).
