Korean Alcohol : Rice Wine

We tried this at a traditional Korean restaurant while we were in in Gyeongju. It came in a big tea pot, and was poured into these metal bowls.

It was a whitish colour, it was served fairly cold from the tea pot and the taste was quite bitter. My guess at the alcoholic content would be about 10%. But the fact that it came in the rather large tea pot, you could certainly put enough of it away should you be so inclined. It was very cold that night in Gyeongju, so a few bowls of this certainly helped to warm us up a bit.
