What is the material of ordinary Maotai wine bottle?

Ordinary Maotai wine bottles are ivory glass bottles.

The packaging history of Moutai liquor is about 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. From 65438 to 0966, Guizhou Qingzhen Glass Factory successfully trial-produced ivory glass bottles through technical research, which solved the leakage and aesthetic problems of Moutai wine bottles, thus gradually ending the history of using pottery bottles for 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.

Brief introduction of Moutai liquor

Moutai is a traditional specialty wine in China. It is one of the world's three largest distilled spirits, which is as famous as Scotch whisky and French cognac, and also one of China's three famous wines. It is also the originator of Daqu Maotai-flavor liquor with a history of more than 800 years.

The style and quality characteristics of Kweichow Moutai are "outstanding sauce flavor, elegant and delicate, full-bodied, long aftertaste and lasting fragrance in empty cups". Its special style comes from the unique traditional brewing technology formed over the years. Brewing method combined with agricultural production in Chishui River basin, seasonal production affected by the environment, with Dragon Boat Festival and Chongyang feeding.

In 2006, the State Council approved the inclusion of "Moutai traditional brewing technology" in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, and declared the world intangible cultural heritage.
