In a legal sense, the current Laimao trademark is operated by Laimao Liquor Industry, a subsidiary of Moutai Group (a joint venture between Moutai Co., Ltd. and Sinopec Yijie Sales Company). Of course, there are many Laimao brands in the same lineage Branch, also produces Laimao. In fact, people who really understand wine not only look at the brand, but also look at the quality. In addition to Lai Yongchu wine, Lai Shijia wine is also good. In terms of quality, they can all be called Lai Mao. Although the bloodline is the most authentic, Lai Yongchu is also the most expensive among several brands. Many people believe that only the Lai Yongchu line of Hengxing Winery is authentic. I think there are also many disputes that Lai Yongchu Winery (Hengxing Winery) cannot explain. Yes, I have also carefully studied and inspected Lai Shijia Winery, whether it is Lai Yongchu Winery (founded by Lai Yongchu’s son Lai Shiqiang), Lai Shijia Winery (founded by Lai Guishan’s son Lai Shihao), or even Lai Shigang Winery (Lai Guishan’s son Lai Shigang), Lai Yongchu and Lai Guishan They are half-brothers. Whether the other families are qualified to inherit the Laimao inheritance mainly depends on whether Lai Yongchu's ancestors have a history of making wine (Lai Yongchu's great-grandfather Lai Zhengheng was originally from Fujian. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, he served as the commander of the military camp. He was transferred to Renhuai County, Guizhou Province to intercept the Taiping Army. He later resigned from the military and founded the "Maotai Shaochun" winery in Maotai Village.) If so, then the inheritance of Lai Maotai wine cannot belong to Lai Yongchu's lineage. In fact, Lai Yongchu He passed away in 1981. The new Hengxing Winery was only established in 1991 and had no direct relationship with Lai Yongchu himself. Lai Guishan only passed away in 1999. Before his death, Lai Guishan gave his sons (Lai Shihao, Lai Shigang, and possibly also There are other descendants) who inherited the legacy of Lai Mao liquor craftsmanship. Lai Shijia Liquor Industry and Lai Yongchu Liquor Industry also fought a lawsuit with Moutai Group for more than ten years over the Lai Mao trademark, and finally lost the lawsuit, also because the descendants of the Lai family were not united. It was caused by mutual denial that the other was the legal heir. After all, the ancestors are all dead and cannot be reconciled or confirmed. The descendants of Lai's Maojiu also lost the lawsuit because of a dispute over interests. Otherwise, it would not have been because the Maotai Group legally obtained the Lai Mao trademark and refrigerated it (Moutai Group also originally did not want to focus on operating this Lai Mao brand), which led Lai Shijia Liquor Industry and Lai Yongchu Liquor Industry to re-apply to the State Trademark Administration to revoke the ownership of the Lai Mao trademark of Moutai Group.
