Five-star Moutai


Moutai Distinguish authenticity: look at the details from the details

Identifying the authenticity of Moutai is not as simple as just looking at it with the naked eye. The authentic Moutai is extremely sophisticated in all aspects such as production technology, packaging materials, and anti-counterfeiting technology. Here are a few key identification points to give you more confidence in your Moutai:

  • Look at the packaging: The packaging of the genuine Moutai is beautifully printed, with clear fonts and saturated colors. Pay special attention to the details of the bottle label, back label, and bottle cap, including whether the security code, production batch, filling date and other information are complete and unambiguous. The early Moutai packaging will have some unique characteristics of the times, which are the key points for identification.
  • Look at the bottle cap and inkjet code: The bottle cap of Moutai usually adopts a special design, such as a "five-star" or "Feitian" logo, and rotates smoothly but has excellent sealing performance. The printing fonts on the bottle caps are clear, neatly arranged, and not easy to wipe. Moutai from different years will also have differences in the font and position of the inkjet code, which requires a certain amount of experience to identify.
  • Look at the wine: Observe the wine under sufficient light. The wine of genuine Moutai should be clear and transparent, with no suspended matter or sediment. As the wine ages, the color of the wine will gradually turn yellow and even appear slightly green. But please be careful not to open the bottle and taste it at will, because once the bottle is opened, the value of the wine will be greatly reduced.
  • Listen to the sound (shake the bottle gently): Gently shake the Moutai bottle. After the genuine Moutai wine is shaken, fine bubbles will be produced and disappear relatively slowly. This is related to its unique wine structure.

Knowledge of collecting Moutai: How to make your collection more valuable?

In addition to identifying authenticity, correct collection methods can also double the value of your Moutai. Here are some practical collection suggestions:

  • Constant temperature and humidity: Moutai is most afraid of large fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The ideal storage environment should be maintained at constant temperature (about 12-18°C) and constant humidity (about 70-75%).
  • Avoid light: Direct sunlight will accelerate the evaporation of alcohol and affect the quality of the wine. It is recommended to store Moutai in a dark and cool environment, such as a wine cabinet or a professional storage room.
  • Lay flat or tilted: In order to keep the cork moist and prevent air from entering the bottle and oxidizing the wine, it is best to place Moutai flat or with the bottle mouth slightly tilted.
