"I think that red wine is healthier than white wine."
I did not accept my answer just because of 'that', which is correct.
Reporting it!
I reported it like 5 times in a row. This took the last of my Duo-destroyed hearts!

Isn't 白酒 some kind of high-spirit drink like vodka instead of white wine?
Yeah, in the last lesson it was translated as baijui, which I guess is some Asian liquor

In the exercises they seem to distinguish between the Chinese liquor 白酒 and "white wine" by prefixing the former with 中国 (中国白酒). But you have to kind of tell by the context which one is meant in speech.
Baijiu is a one of a kind drink. I have no problem with straight whiskey or Bacardi 151, but sipping baijiu burns in a way that probably only paint-remover could do. It has a unique taste that I would struggle to describe. The brand I tried, Moutai, is growing in popularity and therefore price, so it will run you about $150 a bottle. So it's a special occasion drink. It is drank in these adorable thimble-sized glasses and when they call out "干杯" you're expected to down the drink in one shot. Two other cultural warning: when drinking during the holidays (and I've heard on business) many Chinese men like to 'keep up" with each other in drinks. It is also customary to keep filling your glass if you've finished it. Taken together, I almost killed my new father-in-law over Spring Festival. Be careful drinking during the holidays.

i think that red wine is more healthy than white wine
more healthy = healthier
In China 白酒 is not white wine, its a distilled rice liquor that's about 40% alcohol. I think white wine should be '干白'...

This particular lesson is filled with inconsistencies. "I think that red wine is healthier than white wine" is STILL not accepted, despite the many times it's been submitted. So, reported once again on 9th January 2019.

Just one screen before I translated 白酒 as white wine and it marked me wrong and said the word should be 'baijiu'. So this time I translate 白酒 as 'baijiu' and Duo marks me wrong and says it's white wine. I can't win!

to begin with, wine, red or white cannot be described as having good , bad or indifferent health. they should say 'is healthier for you'.
