Recently, many drinkers asked me: What's the difference between five-star Maotai and Tian Fei Maotai? Which is more worth buying? Today, Jiujie will give you a detailed introduction to the difference between five-star Maotai and Tian Fei Maotai and what is worth buying for your reference when buying wine.
A, Five Stars and Feitian were in 1953, and a large number of counterfeit Moutai appeared in the market, which seriously affected the sales of Moutai in the market. In order to maintain the brand of Moutai and standardize the market order, Guizhou Provincial Department of Commerce requires Maotai Distillery to register its trademark.
On May 1954 and 1, Maotai Distillery successfully registered the trademark "Golden Wheel Brand", that is, the trademark of wheat ears around five stars, which is the predecessor of five-star Maotai.
The "Golden Wheel" trademark registered by Maotai Distillery is not only used in the domestic market, but also used in foreign markets.
At that time, the new China had just been established, its international status was not high, and it was also not recognized by some foreign anti-China forces. The exported Golden Wheel brand Moutai liquor has also been used by anti-China forces to make a big fuss. They think that elements such as "five stars", "gears" and "wheat ears" bear political trademarks, and call on the masses to boycott Moutai, which leads to a sharp drop in overseas sales of Moutai.
In order to solve this problem, Maotai Distillery decided to change the trademark of Moutai for export. At that time, foreigners' favorite China element was Dunhuang frescoes, in which the flying pattern on the frescoes was the symbolic element, which was highly accepted abroad.
In addition, Tian Fei also has the meaning of diplomatic envoy, which has a very suitable point of convergence with the export of Maotai, so Maotai Distillery decided to use the Tian Fei Fairy in Dunhuang murals as a trademark.
On 1958, the trademark of "Tian Fei" was successfully registered in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, and the trademark was owned by Guizhou Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Import and Export Corporation, which was paid for by Maotai Distillery. Since then, Moutai has been sold in China under the brand of "Golden Wheel" and exported under the brand of "Tian Fei".
The change of trademark has also changed the situation that the sales volume of Moutai has plummeted abroad. Not only has sales increased, but it has also won the recognition of more foreigners.
Second, the difference between wine quality and appearance There is no difference between Feitian Maotai and Wuxing Maotai. They are all brewed according to the standard process of Moutai, with a production cycle of one year and storage for four years.
The appearance of Tian Fei Maotai should be exquisite and diverse. For example, Tian Fei Maotai was equipped with a red ribbon at 1958, while Wuxing Maotai was not equipped with a red ribbon until 199 1. The reason why this flying Maotai looks better is because it is exported.
The packaging materials of Tian Fei Maotai are also better. At that time, Golden Wheel Maotai (the predecessor of five-star Maotai) sold in China used pottery bottles, while Tian Fei Maotai was a white porcelain bottle.
Now there is not much difference between the two, if you insist on the difference; That is, Tian Fei Maotai is equipped with small wine glasses, while five-star Maotai is not equipped with small wine glasses. This is also the reason why five-star Maotai is cheaper than Tian Fei Maotai 10 yuan.
Third, the difference in collection value In the early days, the collection value of the two was definitely different, and now there is not much difference. The early Tian Fei Maotai was mainly used for export, and it was difficult to buy it in China, so the early Tian Fei Maotai had little stock.
Things are rare, so the price of flying with the same appearance will be higher in the same year. Now Tian Fei's output has exceeded five stars, so it naturally has no advantage in scarcity.
