Recently, Guizhou Maotai wine has been attracting a lot of attention. The Chinese New Year, in addition to the hard-to-find bottle of Maotai wine, even the carton is also surprisingly speculated to a high price, a carton even up to 500 yuan (RMB). In addition, a video of a foot-stomping production of Maotai wine is also circulating on the Internet.
According to mainland media reports, it is still almost impossible to buy 53-degree 500 ml Flying Moutai at a price of 1,499 yuan during New Year’s Eve, with an authorized dealer in Beijing‘s Xicheng District, for example, selling Moutai at a unit price of 2,750 to 2,800 yuan.
In addition, the “new speculation” also came into being, a Maotai wine carton was speculated to 500 yuan, while the same specifications of ordinary cartons sold for only 3 yuan each (RMB).
Industry sources revealed that the current market price is Moutai original box of wine a bottle of 3300 yuan (6 bottles per box), bulk bottles of wine 2700 yuan, 500 yuan a carton therefore plays an important role, “buy a full box of Moutai people are not their own drinking, or do not care about the carton. Because of the carton, the price of a single bottle of Maotai can rise another 600 yuan”.
The newspaper quoted liquor retailer Lin Ming (a pseudonym) as saying that laymen think that people who buy boxes are going to fill them with fake wine, but in fact, they are not, and those who buy boxes are basically the most downstream wine merchants, because the official launch of the “unboxing order”, so the scalpers need to turn loose bottles of wine into original boxes of wine as much as possible, Maotai wine cartons and each bottle of wine has a corresponding batch and number The original box is the only one that corresponds to each other.
Lin Ming also disclosed that the whole body of Maotai wine is “treasure”: in addition to boxes, floating belt, wine glasses, bandages, bags, wine tester, etc. can be circulated: floating belt a 2 yuan, the original wine glass set of 30 yuan, a bandage 15 yuan, a handbag 100 yuan.
The Chinese netizens were stunned when the news came out, and a large number of them angrily denounced: they are crazy, not only the speculation of wine but also the speculation of cartons? Buy a casket and return the pearl, since Maotai is full of treasures, then eat all the boxes and bottles!
In addition, the video of the live production process of Maotai wine has recently been circulating on the internet.
The video released by netizens shows a large number of staff working barefoot on the steaming hot sprinkling of dregs. Netizens said, “This is similar to the stinky tofu milk in pulling bubble shit, the secret of Maotai wine is the use of local people’s feet parasitic microorganisms, this thing is peculiar to leave the town of Maotai to fail, the fungus on the feet can enhance the fermentation to make the composition of the wine more complex, the aroma is more intense.”
As the most prestigious wine in China, Maotai wine also constantly appears in the briefing and reports of officials’ fallen horses, and Maotai wine has become the “hard currency” of the Communist Party’s officialdom. The party media People’s Daily commented in an article last year that CCP officials believe that “drinking Maotai has face, hiding Maotai has value, and giving Maotai has status”, and that for them, Maotai brings “the taste of power”.
Official media last year had issued several articles to Maotai wine cooling, said “wine is used to drink, not to speculate, not to corrupt”. At the end of January this year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also took the example of Wang Xiaoguang, the former vice governor of Guizhou, who had fallen from the horse, and said that it was necessary to “cut off the illegal chain of Moutai benefits. But according to this report in the land media, no wine down, and see the carton price rise.
