On our way from the city of Renhuai to Maotai,we could smell the fragrance of wine becoming stronger as we drew nearer.We found wine jars and large wine containers in front of every house on both sides of the road.A local official said that the wine made by households here is mainly sold to wine factories in neighboring Sichuan province..
The world renowned Maotai Wine Company takes up around two thirds of the town's area and over one sixth of the town's population to work for the company.It is believed that Maotai possesses a special climate and plants that can produce the special taste of the wine.
In the 1970s,the local government tried to build another Maotai wine company in nearby Zunyi in order to increase the drink's production..
People say the unique geographical location and climate accountted for this.Even today,the Maotai Wine Company produces only twenty thousand tons of wine a year.As the wine of China,most of its output goes to governmental institutes,armies and overseas consumers.
Since Maotai wine is higher in price and limited in quantity,only a small number of people in China have the chance to drink it.However,private wine factories in Maotai can produce wine of almost the same quality as Maotai Wine Company enjoys,and at a much cheaper price
