Everyone knows that Moutai is a good wine and is very expensive, but there are many kinds of Moutai. Not all wines with the word "Maotai" on the bottle are Moutai.
Many wines with the word "Maotai" may be Maotai town wines. Maotai town wines are numerous and uneven. Only the wine with the five characters "Kweichow Moutai" can be called Moutai, and the wine produced by "Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd." is called Moutai.
If you include various commemorative Moutai wines, there are already thousands of them, so it is impossible for us to know the prices of all Moutai wines. Next, let me tell you how Moutai wines are roughly divided into several categories. Liquor quality, so that everyone can roughly guess the value after seeing all kinds of weird-shaped Moutai.
Currently, the quality of Moutai can be divided into the following categories from high to low: ordinary Moutai (referred to as: Pu Mao), fine-tuning, small batch blending, treasures, aging (state banquet), and special aging , vintage wine and other categories.
1. Quality of Ordinary Moutai Liquor
Pu Maotai is the most common Moutai and the most basic version of Moutai. All high-end Moutai in the future will be made on this basis. promote. 1499 Pu Mao has a low threshold for collection and has great potential for appreciation. Therefore, Pu Mao has always been a popular investment item. Now the market price is at least over 2,000. If you buy it at a reasonable price, you can make a profit.

3. Small-batch blending
Small-batch blending, as the name suggests, is different from the traditional blending method. Small-batch blending is a specially designed taste, and old wines of different styles and years are added to blend it. , the output is very small, equal to an upgraded version of fine-tuning. Because the output is small and the taste is excellent, we can expect room for appreciation in the future.

It must be made with base wine that has been cellared for at least 10 years. It was once specially used for state banquets, so it is also called "state banquet" wine quality.

Representative product: Moutai specially made for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Heads of State Council Meeting. It is specially brewed using 30-year-old wine quality.
7. Vintage Liquor
The last is Moutai Vintage Liquor. As a representative of the top domestic fine wines, after aging Moutai, Moutai continues to strengthen the blending of the characteristics of aged old wine and launches it one after another. Moutai vintage wines of “15”, “30”, “50” and “80” years were produced.
The age here does not refer to how many years it has been stored, but to how many years of flavor characteristics the wine has. Scientific blending methods are used to restore the flavor of decades of wine. For example, 30-year-old Moutai liquor refers to the blending of base liquor that is no less than 15 years old and based on the standard of 30-year-old Kweichow Moutai liquor.
