In 1985, Kweichow Moutai distillery introduced a new bottle cap production line, fully using aluminum alloy rotating bottle caps to replace the traditional sealing method. iron-cap (actually an aluminum cap, commonly known as "iron-cap" in the industry) has a simple appearance, and its sealing performance is better than the old seal, which effectively reduces the loss of wine evaporation, making the storage state of iron-cap period Moutai generally better than that of earlier products.
During this period, the Kweichow Moutai distillery simultaneously expanded its factory buildings and updated its equipment, but core processes such as fermentation and distillation still strictly relied on manual operations. The quality of Moutai base wine in the late 1980s was hailed as the "golden era" by the industry. Many senior tasters believe that the wine structure of iron-cap Moutai is textbook level.
