What is the material of the common Moutai wine bottle?

Common Maotai wine bottles are all made of glass.

The packaging history of Moutai liquor is around 1956, and Moutai liquor follows the earthenware bottle produced locally in Renhuai. This kind of pottery bottle is divided into two types in shape, one is gourd-shaped and looks like a jar; One is a barrel bottle, which is called a three-stage bottle because it is produced in three stages. In the 1960s, the market reflected that the traditional Maotai liquor bottle leaked seriously, so it was suggested to use glass bottles, so the factory started corresponding experiments.

1966, Guizhou Qingzhen glass factory solved the problems of leakage and beauty of Moutai wine bottles, thus gradually ending the history of using pottery bottles in Moutai packaging. Because the milky glass bottle can avoid light and ultraviolet rays, it is more conducive to the storage of Moutai. At the beginning of bottle changing, ivory glass bottles were mainly used for exporting Moutai, while domestic Moutai still used ceramic bottles. Later, with the increase of glass bottle production, ceramic bottles gradually withdrew from the packaging history of Moutai.

What is the material of the beads on the bottle mouth of Moutai?

The scientific name of this kind of bead is "crystal glass", which is a synthetic crystal with clear color. Don't think that Maotai has too much money to spend. As a first-class famous wine, each design has its own emphasis, so the role of these two beads can not only highlight financial resources, but also have many uses.

In order to prevent plagiarism in small workshops, Moutai specially added "crystal glass" to the small bottle mouth. This step is tricky, and many manufacturers can't do it. Even if it is successful, it is difficult to find a "crystal glass" like Moutai. Putting two beads on the bottle mouth can obviously reduce the diameter of the bottle mouth, which can not only prevent the wine from leaking, but also greatly reduce the pouring speed.
