Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I really doubt this info. Sake is popular in Japan and would be (or should be) categorized under wine, yet wine is at zero in southeast Asia. So either wine literally means "grape wine" or the data is fucked up.

That's because they put Japan in "Western Pacific Region."

Sidenote: Sake isnt actually popular on Japan, as it's seen as a "old man's drink". Saki sales locally have been dropping for decades. But the popularity of Saki internationally (thank you weebs!) gave it a major boost.

I'll never understand how it's an "old man's drink". That stuff is the best alcohol I've ever had.

It could be categorized as "other" or "beer". "Wine" usually means grape, and when it isn't grape, it's usually fruit. Obviously, sake and other rice wines are called "rice wine", but if you are going to put them into a broader category, they probably fit better as a "beer". Non-distilled fermented grain
