Why don't the four famous wines have Wuliangye and Yanghe Daqu?
In his later years, Mr. Xin Haiting, who presided over the first national evaluation reception, recalled that eight famous wines were selected at that time. At that time, wine evaluation was mainly based on tradition, reputation in the market and unique style. Wuliangye and Yanghe were not rated as national famous wines at the first wine tasting, and the gap can be seen by comparing the above standards.
National famous wine is recognized by the industry and its quality is the highest. It is only fair to count all the famous wines selected in the first, second, third and fourth sessions when the quantity has been repeatedly affirmed by the state. Maotai, Fenjiu and LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD all meet this requirement, and they are all super famous wines in China.
In addition, because the selection rules were formulated in the second session, the first session was not selected, but the second, third and fourth sessions won the prize for three consecutive times, which is also considered as super famous wine. These famous wines for three consecutive years include Wuliangye, Gujinggong and Dongjiu. Yanghe was selected as a national famous wine only in the third and fourth sessions, which can only be regarded as the second famous wine.
