Generally, the packaging of high-quality Maotai-flavor liquor sold on the market is basically the material of a milky white opaque bottle. If you look closely, you will find that the material of the bottle is actually glass. So the question is, why not use ceramic bottle filling, why is glass bottle milky white instead of transparent?
During the historical changes of the wine bottles of Maotai-flavor liquor, ceramic bottles have indeed been used, but because the bottle shape is not very beautiful, it is also prone to leakage, and the cost of using ceramic bottles is relatively high, so the beginning Developed using glass vials. Until 1966, the milky white glass bottle was successfully trial-produced through technical research, which solved the problem of leakage and aesthetics of the sauce-flavor liquor bottle. Thus, the history of using earthen ceramic bottles for the packaging of Maotai-flavor liquor is gradually ended.
In the past, Maotai also used ceramic bottles to store wine, but ceramics have many shortcomings. First of all, ceramics are very easy to break, and ceramics are prone to cracks, resulting in the phenomenon of wine seepage. Therefore, with the advancement of science and technology, Moutai gradually began to use glass bottles to store wine, and this is cheaper, simpler and more convenient, and glass wine bottles are lighter than ceramic wine bottles. It is more convenient for transportation and handling.
What are the advantages of using milky white glass bottles? The milky white glass wine bottle can protect from light and ultraviolet rays, and is more conducive to the storage of Maotai-flavor liquor. Light, especially ultraviolet rays, will destroy the quality of wine, causing the temperature of the wine body to rise, causing changes in nutrients such as acids and esters contained in the wine, and affecting the taste of the wine. Elevated temperature can also trigger the action of microorganisms, causing changes in the quality of wine and destroying the preservation value. Therefore, high-quality Maotai-flavor liquor will be packaged in milky white glass bottles and placed in a dark, cool and ventilated place with constant temperature and humidity.
