Why are there two glass beads on the bottle of Moutai? What's the use?
There are two small beads in the bottle of Moutai. I believe many people played marbles when they were young. At first glance, it looks like it. It is made of glass and crystal glass with high transparency and purity. Although these two glass balls are small, their uses should not be underestimated. First, adding small glass beads can slow down the flow of wine when pouring, block the bottle mouth and avoid wasting good wine. However, Bian Xiao thinks this reason is not sufficient, because glass beads only work when the wine is about to pour out, and the angle of inclination is not big when the wine is just opened!
The second is to prevent counterfeiting, because there are glass beads, it is impossible to pour wine from the bottle mouth. The glass ball is also the anti-counterfeiting mark of Maotai, and the national wine Maotai is not a false name. The production process of Moutai is very complicated. The water from Chishui River is mainly used to make Moutai. The water quality of Chishui River is very good. This slightly sweet and impurity-insoluble water makes the wine especially sweet after distillation. Coupled with the special natural environment and climate conditions in Maotai Town, China's most famous liquor was brewed. Things are rare!
Because it will shake during production and transportation, the beads on the bottle mouth can prevent the wine from spilling on the road. After all, a drop of wine is worth 1000 yuan. When the wine is opened, it is easy to volatilize. The glass ball presses the bottle mouth, effectively sealing the fragrance of the wine. You may think that putting a glass bead won't save much wine. Yes, Maotai Distillery has made good use of this to save a lot. Finally, Bian Xiao reminded everyone that if Moutai can't be poured out of the newly opened bottle, it's because the weather caused pressure changes and the glass beads were sucked away. You can solve the problem by patting the bottom of the bottle with your palm.
