What is the relationship between Laimao and Maotai?

Lai Mao wine is the predecessor of Moutai wine.

Introduction:

Before 1949, the production of Moutai wine was in decline, and there were only three distilleries, namely: the Chengyi Distillery, funded by the Chinese family name; the Ronghe Distillery, funded by the Wang family name; the Wangmao Distillery, funded by the Lai family name; the Ronghe Distillery, funded by the Lai family name; and the Ronghe Distillery, funded by the Wang family name. There were only three wine shops, namely: "Cheng Yi Wine Shop" funded by the Hua family, known as "Hua Mao"; "Rong He Wine Shop" funded by the Wang family, known as "Wang Mao"; and "Heng Xing Wine Shop" funded by the Lai family, known as "Lai Mao".

In 1951, the government merged the three private breweries of Chengyi (Huamao), Ronghe (Wangmao), and Hengxing (Laimao) through redemption, confiscation, and takeover, implementing the policy of combining the three breweries into a single one -- the state-run Moutai Liquor Factory was established.
