Gu Qingsheng can’t tell when he stopped drinking Moutai. Some of my real drinking friends regard people who drink Moutai as fake drinkers, which does not represent advanced IQ. , the reason is very simple, I feel that the taste of Moutai is not as good as before. There is just such a feeling, especially the rich sauce flavor, which is just like the broth with too much chicken essence. It is really unbearable. Most of the time, I would rather drink Jiannanchun, Luzhou Laojiao and Baiyunbian, or simply drink it. I drink Beijing Erguotou and Hengshui Laobaigan and don’t drink Maotai. If the national liquor is voted for now, whether Moutai can be awarded the title of national liquor will also be a big question mark. One time I did an experiment and poured a glass of Maotai wine in Donglaishun and waited for the poet Han Haoyue. I hid the bottle of Maotai wine. Han Haoyue came and took a sip and said, if you drink, you must drink Erguotou! Hong Fei, the resource finance editor beside him, said, look carefully, this is Moutai, not Erguotou! Han Haoyue hurriedly took another sip and said, Moutai? Why do you feel like Erguotou? There is more than one such story. If you don’t look at the packaging of Moutai, and are not affected by its reputation and high price, it would be difficult for people to say that Moutai is a good wine after drinking it. I also discussed this feeling with my drinking friends. Finally one day, a drinking friend revealed the secret. When drinking Moutai, you need to look at the batch number. Those Moutais with special batch numbers taste pretty good, while market-level Moutai Wine, just cherish the RMB. Money is not that easy to come by now. It turns out that different batch numbers are used for blending different batches. Really good Moutai liquor needs to be blended in a small amount, while ordinary Moutai liquor can be blended in a large amount at one time. Therefore, a bottle of Maotai liquor of ordinary liquor quality is sold at the price of high-end liquor because it is labeled as a national liquor. However, the Moutai liquor on the market is not divided into grades, and it is clear which is ordinary Moutai and which is high-end Moutai. People think that the Moutai they drink is the best Moutai, especially those who drink Moutai for the first time. , thinking that Moutai liquor has always tasted like this. I also once wondered whether it was people's common social psychological feeling that things are not what they used to be that led to the misjudgment of Moutai. Because when I ate meat before, it felt delicious, but now when I eat meat, it feels greasy. The real meat flavor can only be tasted at farmers in the mountains. Due to the influence of additives, today's meat is really not what it used to be. After I learned that many drinking friends had the above opinions, I believed that I had not misjudged Moutai. So wherever I go, I don’t ask my friends to bring Moutai. I usually let my friends drink it with the name of the place. First, I can taste the local famous wine. Second, the taste of many local famous wines may not be worse than Moutai. For example, I drink it in Jiangsu. Shuanggou, go to Anhui to drink Kouzijiao, go to Hunan to drink Guijiu, go to Hubei to drink Baiyunbian, etc. Many wines are not as famous as Moutai, but the quality can be said to be quite good, or even higher than Moutai. For example, the famous popular liquor Laobaigan, which has 67 degrees of alcohol content, is praised by everyone who drinks it. Qingdao's Langyatai Liquor (70%) and Qinghai's Huzhu Daqu (65%) can both let people taste the beauty of liquor. As for Moutai, besides the sauce aroma, what else can people taste? It stands to reason that Maotai liquor already deserves the title of national liquor. Moreover, the title of this national wine seems to have been the name in recent decades. In the early history, there seems to be no such thing as national wine. Looking for introduction information, I found that I won the gold medal at the Panama Expo in the last century. Because no one knows the nature of the Panama Expo, China often holds commodity expos now. I know the gold value of a gold medal at a commodity expo, and it is for many other domestic commodities. He also won a gold medal at the Panama Expo. The most influential person in the spread of Moutai was precisely this man who smashed Moutai at the expo. The aroma of Moutai shocked foreigners. There is a misunderstanding in this communication, that is, the Chinese taste is installed on foreigners. When I drank the foreign wine Remy Martin for the first time, I felt that the taste was weird, and the same was true for the tequila that Americans like. I said it tasted weird, but my friend said that foreigners liked the taste. I understand now that differences in taste will also lead to differences in the evaluation system. When Nixon drank Maotai during his first visit to China, he did not say that Maotai was good. He only said that the wine could be used as power fuel in aircraft fuel tanks. Therefore, it is not necessarily inevitable to conquer the noses of foreigners with the sauce fragrance that Chinese people once liked. Of course, none of us know exactly what happened at the Barnabas Expo. Perhaps, as the Moutai promotion said, it shocked the foreigners present. But do foreigners drink Maotai? Besides, it seems unrealistic to give a gold medal just for smelling the fragrance.
Before throwing the wine, foreigners were indifferent to Moutai. That is more normal. It is normal for a commodity expo. Who knows what kind of wine is in the bottle? After all, it’s something that even foreigners have never drunk before! I believe that those who drink Moutai are still Chinese. Using the Panama Expo gold medal to promote Moutai is nothing more than taking advantage of the Chinese people's mentality of admiring foreigners. If you think about it carefully, the fact that the wine won the gold medal is worth pondering. Now I have some doubts about this Panama Expo. After all, the national wine must be drunk by the Chinese people, and it will naturally accumulate reputation. Only the Chinese people’s say counts. The question now is, is it appropriate for this title to be used on an alcoholic product for a long time? This is equivalent to saying that the title of national wine has become the patent of Moutai. No matter how well made any other wine is, no matter how much the public likes it, it has nothing to do with the national wine. Obviously, it is unreasonable for a wine to use the title of national wine, even if there are inscriptions by celebrities in history, or the public once agrees, from the perspective of modern market science, it is against fair commercial competition. It is equivalent to saying that even if Moutai is made well, it is still a national wine. No matter how well other wines are made, they are not national wines.
