Thuthse
''Thuthse'' (or Thutshe) is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from sticky rice in the Indian state of Nagaland. History It is the traditional drink of the Angami and Chakhesang Nagas, but now it is commonly consumed by all Nagas in Nagaland. Brewing Thuthse is prepared from glutinous rice, locally called ''kemenya''. Sprouted rice or starter cakes, known as ''akhri'' is used for the fermentation process. The rice is soaked in cold water for an hour and then drained. Thereafter, it is left to dry for two to three hours. This rice is then pounded into fine powder with ''pikhe,'' a large wooden pestle. This powdered rice is transferred to ''litho,'' earthen pots, and mixed with water to form a thicken solution. To this, akhri is added to start the fermentation process, and left for four to five days. In winters, this process takes more time, i.e. six to seven days. The liquid is then, filtered. Thuthse is similar to ''Zutho'' but is thicker, stronger, and sweeter. ...

Zutho
''Zutho'' is a fermented drink, originating from the Indian state of Nagaland, obtained from rice. It is a traditional drink of the Angami and Chakhesang Nagas and is commonly consumed by all Nagas in both urban and rural regions of Nagaland. It contains approximately 5%(v/v) of ethanol, and is known for its fruity odor, which is partly imparted by the acetyl esters in generous amounts. Traditionally zutho is prepared by allowing starch-rich solutions to broken down by enzymes into sugars that are fermented by yeast. Starch in rice has to be made into malt by sprouting, or digested by enzymes that Nagas learned to grow in a separate process on a plant.

Indian Wine
The modern Indian Wine market is small but growing; annual per capita consumption of wine in the country is a mere 9 millilitres, approximately 1/8000th that of France. Hard liquor and beer has nearly 98% of the alcoholic drinks market, with wine taking 2%. The viticulture in India has a long history, dating back to the time of the Indus Valley civilization when grapevines were believed to have been introduced from Persia. Winemaking has existed throughout most of India's history but was particularly encouraged during the time of the Portuguese and British colonization of the subcontinent. The end of the 19th century saw the phylloxera louse take its toll on the Indian wine industry, followed by religious and public opinion moving towards the prohibition. Following the country's independence from the British Empire, the Indian government encouraged vineyards to convert to table grape and raisin production. In the 1980s and 1990s, a revival in the Indian wine industry took place as ...

Glutinous Rice
Domestication syndrome refers to two sets of phenotypic traits that are common to either domesticated plants or domesticated animals. Domesticated animals tend to be smaller and less aggressive than their wild counterparts; they may also have floppy ears, variations to coat color, a smaller brain, and a shorter muzzle. Other traits may include changes in the endocrine system and an extended breeding cycle. These animal traits have been claimed to emerge across the different species in response to selection for tameness, which was purportedly demonstrated in a famous Russian fox breeding experiment, though this claim has been disputed. Other research suggested that pleiotropic change in neural crest cell regulating genes was the common cause of shared traits seen in many domesticated animal species. However, several recent publications have either questioned this neural crest cell explanation or cast doubt on the existence of domestication syndrome itself. One recent publica ...
