到了民国，绍兴文人大都嗜饮本地黄酒，并深以为傲。朱自清、夏丏尊、刘董宇、朱光潜等就有白马湖畔“酒聚”的习惯。而蔡元培先生更是每饭必酒，鲁迅先生也将啜饮略微甘甜的花雕女儿红当成一种生活习惯，萧红曾写到：“鲁迅先生喜欢吃一点酒，但是不多吃，吃半小碗或一碗。”难怪，先生的作品中时时飘出绍酒的醇香。

In the Repulican Era, most of the literati of Shaoxing were fond of the local huangjiu, and took deep pride in it. People like Zhu Ziqing, Xia Mianzun, Liu Dongyu and Zhu Guangqian used to gather around the Baima Lake regularly for drinking sessions. And Cai Yuanpei couldn't have a meal without a drink. Lu Xun meanwhile took sipping on the sweet Huadiao variety of Shaoxing huangjiu, also referred to as Nuerhong, as a lifetime habit. Xiao Hong once wrote, "Lu Xun likes to drink a little wine, but not too much, he takes half of a small bowl or a bowl." No wonder his works are often so redolent with the heady scent of Shaoxing wine.
