As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. In the face of such a large maotai-flavor liquor market, do you think others will share a piece of it? If you brew your own Maotai-flavor liquor for sale, it is definitely unrealistic. Let's first analyze the general brewing process of maotai-flavor liquor.
The raw materials of Maotai-flavor liquor are sorghum, wheat and water. Sorghum is a kind of waxy high-quality sorghum, which is produced in Renhuai and southern Sichuan, commonly known as red tassel sorghum. The grain is solid and full, the skin thickness is small, and the amylopectin content is over 88%. The cost of this sorghum is 4-5 yuan/kg. Wheat is a high-quality wheat produced in the valley area around Maotai Town, with full and uniform grains, deep and fleshy abdominal furrows and starch content of about 65%. The cost of this wheat is 3-4 yuan/kg.
Time of Maotai-flavor liquor: A bottle of high-quality Maotai-flavor liquor takes five years from brewing to leaving the factory. During this period, it is necessary to blend Maotai-flavor liquor in different rounds. Finally, a fine maotai-flavor liquor with stable quality was formed, and then it became a real maotai-flavor liquor after canning.
Cost Accounting of Maotai-flavor Liquor
Brewing raw material cost: brewing 1 kg maotai-flavor liquor requires 3 kg of waxy sorghum, and the price per kg of waxy sorghum is 4 yuan. It takes 3 Jin of wheat to make koji. 3 yuan per catty of wheat. Total 3x4+3x2= 18 yuan.
Fuel cost: The production cycle of Maotai-flavor liquor is about one year. During the whole production period, an average of one ton of coal is needed for every ton of grain produced. In other words, it takes one ton of coal to brew 400 Jin of Maotai-flavor wine. Anthracite was around 800 yuan when it was brewing. The fuel cost per catty of wine is 2 yuan.
Labor cost: A few years ago, Maotai Town made a survey on the listing of base wine. At that time, the labor cost of a kilo of base wine was 3.5 yuan.
Packing cost: each ordinary wine bottle is about 1.2 yuan, 0.2 yuan is labeled, and 2.3 yuan is packed in cartons.
These prices add up to fifty or sixty, which is only the cost of the winery. With the promotion fee and profit, the price of a good bottle of Maotai-flavor liquor will rise to 100. Compared with most people, this price is not affordable. So some people blended wine and alcohol into maotai-flavor liquor. This is why there is Maotai-flavor liquor in 9.9 yuan. So, if it is too cheap, don't buy it without good advice.
