How about rice wine?

In Viet Nam, expensive scotch, imported whisky, French wine and even Russian vodka may be gaining popularity among urbane tipplers, but most Vietnamese men still prefer local liquor commonly known as ruou (rice wine).

Nice article from Vietnam News, "Toasting Vietnamese Rice Wine," that talks about different kinds of rice wine.
