Origin of Ili Laojiao: The Xinjiang "Yilite" and "Ili Laojiao" wines, which have the reputation of "the first wine in Xinjiang", have recently won the title of "China Famous Wine" selected by the Ministry of Commerce. It is understood that this is the only liquor product in Xinjiang that has won this title. "Yili" brand liquor was born in the middle of the 20th century, and was brewed by army reclamation soldiers on the ancient wasteland at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, using coarse grains and natural landscape. In the early 1990s, Yilite Company invested 6,543.8+0,000 yuan to build the first liquor research institute in Xinjiang, and invested more than 45 million yuan to introduce the microcomputer monitoring system and koji-making technology for koji fermentation, which upgraded the Yilite series of wines. Subsequently, Yilite series wine won the title of "the first wine in Xinjiang". As a listed company in China liquor industry, Yili was recognized as a well-known trademark in China by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in 2002, and won the National Food Safety Demonstration Unit, the Top 100 Enterprises in China Liquor Industry, the Top 10 Enterprises with Economic Benefits in China Liquor Industry, the Top 10 Competitive Brands in China Liquor Industry, the China 500 Most Valuable Brand and the National May 1 Labor Award for many years.
