Bottoms Up, Profits Up: Moutai Defies China Slump

    • How about export some to the United States. Drinkers in the America are longing to try some Bottoms Up too!

    • Correction: Drinkers in America...

    • "80-year offerings"... where exactly has this clearly endless supply been stored over the past eighty years? Why was it not destroyed or drunk during the Cultural Revolution?

    • Since the majority of Chinese can't afford 'Moutai', it's clearly bought up by the government thieves with the people's tax money.

      The rest of the population in China usually can only afford 'Baijiu' which is probably made out of millet, cow urine, or maybe both!

    • Moutai is found in US markets, but it doesn't sell though, as many prefer better quality liquors. Believe it or not, the major buyers of Moutai in the States are Chinese tourists who marvel at the low price here in the US, and purchase as much as they can carry back home to China.

      Simple fact is, most westerners who have sipped Moutai compare the vile liquor to drinking paint thinner! However, if you really want to try something worse out of China then I suggest Baijiu, as it has been compared to drinking diesel fuel by some!

      The Chinese will place as much as 60% ABV in a bottle, so if you like drinking rubbing alcolhol then Moutai and/or Baijiu could be for you.

    • I know many westerners don't appreciate Moutai, but I believe that's just a matter of preference, which is the reason why it doesn't sell in US. But even if you don't appreciate the taste, please still show some respect. As it's not like everyone would appreciate whiskey.
