Five Steps to Verify Authenticity: A Complete Illustrated Guide to Detecting Counterfeit Feitian Moutai (Applicable to New Versions After 2020)
Key takeaway (case sharing): At Chunxiang Wine Merchants, we understand the preciousness of Moutai wine, not just as a delicious fine wine, but also as an asset with investment and collection value.
1. First, observe the gear teeth on top of the cap. The gear lines on genuine liquor are full and well-defined, with a width roughly consistent with the white space between the gear teeth; whereas the gear lines on counterfeit liquor are thinner than the gaps.
2. Next, we can see a small dot between the characters "" (Máo) and "" (Tái) on the cap. Genuine liquor has this mark, while counterfeit liquor does not.
3. Finally, let's look at the production date, production batch number, and serial number on the cap of genuine liquor. The production date and production batch number are aligned in two lines, while the serial number is centered and aligned with the numbers above; in contrast, counterfeit liquor's production date and production batch number are left-aligned.
1. Comparing the genuine and counterfeit liquor in the image below, the colors of the Feitian Goddess emblem on the genuine bottle are noticeably clearer and more saturated, appearing bright and lustrous overall; the counterfeit liquor, on the other hand, has duller colors.
2. First, look at the character "" (zhù). In genuine liquor, there is a certain gap between the radical and the character; in counterfeit liquor, there is no gap and they are almost connected.
3. Next, look at the character "" (biāo). The strokes of "" in genuine liquor are fuller and more rounded, with an overall flatter appearance; counterfeit liquor's overall appearance is slender.
4. From the image below, we can observe these subtle details. First, for genuine liquor, the lines on the bottom wristband are clean with no other lines passing through; for counterfeit liquor, there are arm lines passing through the two lines of the wristband. In addition, the other ribbons and skirt edges of genuine liquor have distinct, irregular protrusions, while counterfeit liquor displays regular arcs.
1. Under UV light, the sea-blue label of genuine liquor shows a clear and uniform grid pattern; if there is no grid or it is blurry, it can be identified as counterfeit liquor.
2. The number "7" in the barcode on the back label of genuine liquor is straight, while counterfeit liquor will have a slight curve. In addition, the "1" in genuine liquor has a slightly upturned top serif; counterfeit liquor's top serif naturally points downwards.
3. From the image, we can observe the subtle details in the introduction of Moutai liquor, specifically the characters "" (jiǔ) and "" (tè). Genuine liquor has the following characteristics: the character "" has no full dot, and the two dots in "" are inconsistent.
4. In the detailed image of the back label's wheat ear, a small dot mark can be seen on genuine liquor, which is absent on counterfeit liquor.
