Moutai (aka Maotai) is the most popular spirit in China. It is the first choice of government officials and business elites to entertain their distinguished foreign as well as domestic counterparts.
Moutai is named after the town with the same name in Kweichow (aka Guizhou) Province, where winemaking has a very long history. Throughout the development of modern China, Moutai has been used during official banquets for foreign heads of state and distinguished guests visiting China. It is the only alcoholic beverage presented as an official gift by Chinese embassies in foreign countries and regions. It received additional exposure in China and abroad when Zhou Enlai, China's prime minister used Moutai to entertain Richard Nixon during the state banquet for the U. S. presidential visit to China in 1972. It was also served at the meeting between President Obama and the current President of China, Xi Jin Ping in California, June 2013.
