Yeah, I only tasted Ouzo once a very long time ago and from my memory it was not bad flavor, but rice wine is found in many different Asian countries, and I have heard about Chinese rice wine, but as far I am aware it is different but if I was offered taste I will try it. In Japan, we know Sake is rice wine, but some brewers here say it is not rice wine (even it is) but Sake, something above the rice wine level. I don't know I can agree, but some Sake is extreme high price and only use mountain fresh water not polluted by the trash they offer for our drinking mains water. I heard about Chinese spice rice wine, and few different styles, but like you say, I didn't find much here.
Yeah that's good to know. At least I am not only one. If it gets too stupid I will log out and return later. Yesterday and before was first time in ages it was bad. This why I was not sure if its LC or my internet, but seems was just that LC can get this way sometimes.

At least am not only one, and Underlord also express he sometimes get it also, so, just part of LC I guess
