What kind of wine is China's national wine? I see many wines bearing the name of national wine. Which one is it?
Moutai is known as China's national liquor. Moutai has a mysterious and long history.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maotai liquor has been presented as a national gift to foreign leaders at numerous major events.
Since ancient times, there have been countless literati and poets who yearn for and praise Maotai.
It is no exaggeration to say that every small "side" of Moutai liquor has rich humanistic and historical stories, and has profound cultural accumulation and humanistic value.
Just like a fragrant business card sent by China to the world, the concrete Maotai liquor and the abstract "humanity" not only let the world know itself with its intoxicating aroma, but also vividly demonstrated the charm and charm of Chinese wine culture to the world.
Let them understand China and Chinese culture.
Moutai has a history of being famous all over the world. As one of the three famous distilled spirits in the world, Moutai has been famous all over the world since 1915.
It can almost be said that before this, although ancient China had a long history of wine making, rich cultural origins of wine, and many fine wines of different styles, no good wine could break out of the land of China and be fragrant.
Universal and recognized by the international community.
The reason why Moutai is called the "national liquor" is due to its long brewing history, unique brewing technology, superior connotation, profound brewing culture, and its infinite role in my country's political, diplomatic, and economic life. It is determined by comprehensive factors such as its comparable role and its traditional special status in the Chinese wine industry. It is the result of the love of three generations of great men and the long-term market test and cultivation.
It has also received praise from the people in terms of actual life taste and experience, so it is well deserved.
1. A brief history of Moutai. The earliest record of the history of winemaking along the Chishui River is Sima Qian's "Historical Records".
"Historical Records: Biographies of Southwest Yi" records: In more than 130 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che drank the famous wine "Goji Sauce" from Yelang and couldn't help but praise it: "It's sweet."
Later, there was a history that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent General Tang Meng to Guizhou to open up a barbarian road, specifically detouring through Renhuai, where Maotai was located. There is a saying: "What is the Han family's wolfberry sauce? It earns Tang Meng's Yi tribe." Maotai was called the Yi tribe in ancient times, and Maotai was called the Yi tribe.
Goji sauce, according to research, is a wine produced in the Chishui River area of ????Renhuai, which is made by fermenting fruits and adding grain.
In the history of Chinese wine-making, liquor made entirely from grain koji began in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The Daqu wine produced in the Moutai area along the Chishui River has become a tribute to the imperial court.
During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, brewing workshops of a certain scale were successively built in Yangliu Bay, Maotai Town. It is worth noting that Maotai's brewing technology at that time had created a unique "sand return" process.
Before 1949, the production of Moutai liquor was in decline, and there were only three distilleries, namely: "Chengyi Distillery" funded by the Hua surname, called "Huamao"; and "Ronghe Distillery" funded by the Wang surname, called "Huamao".
"Wang Mao"; "Hengxing Winery" funded by the surname Lai is called "Lai Mao".
"Huamao" is the predecessor of Moutai.
In 1704, "Gesheng Shaofang" officially named its wine Moutai.
In October 1949, on the eve of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Maotai liquor entered Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, and the founding fathers of the Republic of China congratulated each other.
According to China News Service: The first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China was held at the Beijing Hotel on the night of the founding ceremony. From the selection of chefs to the menu and wine products, all were personally approved by Zhou Enlai. The main wine was Maotai.
As the country's fortunes flourished, so did its national wine. Moutai, which healed the wounds of the Red Army, finally became the "founding wine" of the Republic of China.
2. Moutai’s characteristic green Moutai. Moutai is a typical example of Maotai-flavor Daqu liquor with the most perfect style, so “Maotai-flavor” is also called “Maotai-flavor”.
The wine is bright and transparent, with a slight yellow color, and the sauce aroma is outstanding and intoxicating. If you don't drink it with the cup open, the aroma will be fragrant. Drink it happily, and the mouth will be full of fragrance. After drinking, the cup will be empty, the fragrance will be bigger and last longer.
The taste is elegant and delicate, the wine is full and mellow, the aftertaste is long, and the fragrance of grass is endless.
Moutai liquor is pure, transparent, mellow and fragrant. It is composed of three special flavors: sauce aroma, cellar bottom aroma, and mellow sweetness. There are now more than 300 known aroma components.
The alcohol content is 53 degrees.
Moutai is one of the few products in China's liquor industry that has passed green food certification. It has a unique green brewing environment and a unique green traditional brewing process.
Based on this, we have put forward higher requirements not only for its internal quality, but also for its external packaging quality and other aspects.
This makes Moutai and its series of products more in line with the "green, environmentally friendly, healthy and natural" consumption trends and requirements of consumers.
Humanities Moutai The Moutai area has a history of winemaking for more than 2,000 years. It was recorded as early as Sima Qian's "Historical Records". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as an important shipping terminal, it also showed a grand situation of "Qin merchants gathered in Moutai, and Shu salt went to Guizhou".
In 1915, Moutai won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition, leaving behind a legend of "throwing bottles angrily to shock the country", and has since become a world-famous wine industry; after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has played an important role in my country's political and diplomatic life. It has special functions and good stories, and is well deserved to be known as the "national wine".
It can be said that every small "side" has a touching historical story, and has profound cultural heritage, cultural accumulation and humanistic value.
