Moutai has a history of more than 811 years and is a traditional specialty wine in China.

After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Maotai gradually became the tribute wine of the dynasties, and spread overseas through the South Silk Road. Huang Tingjian, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote the famous phrase "A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peaches and plums, a lamp in the river's lake for ten years". After drinking, he also lamented that Moutai was "extremely drinkable".

In p>1915, Panama World Expo was held. In the name of "Maotai Company", Beiyang government sent Moutai packaged in earthen jars to the exhibition. At the Expo, outsiders initially dismissed Moutai as a "dusty" package. In desperation, a China official intentionally or unintentionally smashed the crock to the ground, and suddenly, the wine was overflowing, which surprised everyone.

subsequently, maotai won the gold medal in one fell swoop, and became one of the three famous distilled wines in the world, enjoying a worldwide reputation, along with English scotch whisky and French cognac. Extended information
