What is Moutai made of?

Moutai is brewed from high-quality sorghum and wheat. It can be fermented for eight times and stored for two or three years before leaving the factory. Brief introduction of Moutai:

Moutai is produced in Maotai Town, renhuai city, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China. It is a characteristic liquor of Han nationality, and it is one of the three major distilled liquors with the same reputation as Scotch whisky and French cognac.

The trademark of Moutai was originally printed in woodcut, with only petal-shaped patterns, and the words of Kweichow Moutai were written in regular script. Later it was changed to continuous history paper lead printing. Trademark naming: Cheng Yi pub is Shuangde brand, Ronghe pub is Maisui brand, and Hengshi pub is Shan Ying brand.

During the Cultural Revolution, it was changed to sunflower brand, and the Golden Wheel brand and Tian Fei brand were restored, which have been in use ever since.
