There is a difference.
The differences are as follows:
1. Look at the packaging
The authenticity of 2012 Moutai can be judged from the packaging. Genuine Moutai is stored in a white glass bottle with a red bottle cap and bright color. There is no inner stopper at the mouth of the bottle, but it has a good seal and will not leak when turned upside down. However, fake Moutai uses recycled bottles. The bottle cap is dull in color and has poor sealing performance.
2. Look at the trademark
The authenticity of 2012 Moutai can be judged by looking at the trademark. The Moutai bottle has the trademark of Kweichow Moutai, and it is beautifully printed, with clear patterns, fonts, and labels, and the trimmed edges are even and smooth. However, the fake Moutai label has blurry printing, making it impossible to see the pattern and fonts clearly, and the trimmed edges are uneven.
3. Look at the sales voucher
The authenticity of 2012 Moutai can be judged from the sales voucher. Because Maotai liquor is distributed uniformly, its sales vouchers are divided into three types: sales slip, ticket header, and special seal. Therefore, the three types of vouchers will have the words Renhuai County printed on them. If not, it means they are fake.
