May I ask what is the difference between Moutai wine and Moutai town wine?

Difference:

1, the two concepts are different

What we usually call Maotai wine is Maotai wine produced by Guizhou Maotai Wine Co. Traditionally, Moutai wine refers to the soy sauce-type wine produced in Moutai town and brewed according to the traditional technology, also known as moutai-type wine.

2, different manufacturers

Moutai town is the production of Maotai wine town, and the town has a lot of distilleries, they all like to use Maotai town wine to confuse consumers think it is Maotai distillery factory. Moutai wine is Moutai distillery factory, that is, we say the national wine Moutai.

3, quality assurance is different

Moutai wine using a registered trademark, there is a perfect quality assurance system, so the quality is guaranteed.

Moutai wine because there is no brand, everyone can produce, so the quality is uneven, can not be guaranteed. The craftsmanship of Moutai wines is also beyond the reach of these wineries. This ultimately leads to their quality, which is no better than authentic Moutai wine.

Moutai wine is made from local superior glutinous sorghum, and high-temperature quartz is made from wheat, while more quartz is used than raw materials. The unique process of using more quartz, a long fermentation period, multiple fermentations, and multiple alcohol extraction is an important reason for the unique style and excellent quality of Moutai wine.

The brewing of Moutai wine goes through two times of feeding, nine times of steaming, eight times of spreading and drying and adding quartz (fermentation seven times), seven times of taking wine, the production cycle is up to one year, and then three years of aging and storage, blending and mixing, and then one year of storage, so that the quality of the wine is more harmonious and mellow and soft and gentle, and only then is it allowed to be bottled for shipment, and all the production process is nearly five years long.

The construction of the cellar of Moutai wine is also quite elaborate. From the cellar site selection, cellar area towards the space height, to the cellar temperature and humidity control, air permeability, as well as the form of wine urns, capacity, urn mouth mud sealing technology, etc., are extremely strict.
