Traditional brewing process distills the essence of the country, Akhil Parashar reports.
A lot has changed since Li Zhihua was on the factory floor in 1972. Back then, a bottle of the Kweichow Moutai he helped produce cost about 6 yuan, a big investment for a worker earning around 30 yuan a month, but nothing compared to the 1,000-yuan ($154) bottles sold today.
As a wine wholesaler based in Beijing I could not decline the invitation to visit the Moutai facilities in Renhuai, Guizhou province. I always deal with wine distribution in China and recognize the strong brand perception of Moutai for my clients, visiting the source was among my top "things to do in China".
The first time I drank Moutai was at a wedding. It was a few months after I arrived in China. My host told me that it was the most famous brand of baijiu, the liquor made from sorghum and wheat.
Taking your first sip of Moutai baijiu could be challenging. You take a smooth polished bottle, open the lid and smell the aroma that brings a jolt to your taste buds. Once the Moutai is poured into your glass, you are left with a crystal clear liquid ready to make whatever occasion you are at much better. As soon as it touches your lips, it's like falling in love on the first date. You can call it a shot to the heart, or simply a problem solver.
