The rice contains starch, and unlike fruit wine or wine made from grapes, the rice wine on the other hand is tricky. Only specific type of yeast ball or cake(Chuang in North East, India and Nuruk in Korea) is only used to activate the yeast who works for fermenting rice. Because normal wine or beer yeast(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) will have a hard time breaking the rice starch into ethanol. So the normal wine yeast will never give you the result.
