Which brand of Maotai-flavor wine is better? I think most people’s answer is Maotai wine . Moutai is the “big brother” of Chinese Maotai-flavor wine and the founder and inheritor of Maotai-flavor craft. Moutai is also widely recognized as delicious and pure.
However, high quality and large brand effect often mean high prices. Feitian Moutai is Moutai's flagship product, and is even the hard currency in many wine bureaus and gift-giving occasions. Its price The price has also increased year by year, from a few hundred yuan at the beginning to 1,499 yuan today, a bottle is still hard to find on major platforms! The retail market price is as high as 2,700 yuan a bottle, which is far beyond the psychological price of ordinary people's daily drinking.
Today’s Moutai is too luxurious for many drinkers. Except for business entertainment, or treating guests and giving gifts, Moutai is rarely used. Many friends who like Maotai flavor are also looking for some sauce wine products that are similar in flavor and taste to Moutai as alternatives, which are delicious and cheap.

The one that is most similar to Moutai is definitely Zhenpin Prince Liquor. This wine is brewed in Xishui Town. It uses a 3-year-old base wine to blend with Moutai's old wine. The flavor is very Moutai's, which is bitter at first and then sweet, with a mellow taste. However, Prince Wine does have a more prominent bitterness in the aftertaste, making it more suitable for experienced drinkers who are accustomed to this flavor.
