Luzhou, Sichuan Province, China, is located in Luzhou, a famous wine city in the south of the "Land of Abundance". It is close to mountains and beside rivers, and has a mild climate. The Laojiao Tequ and Touqu (formerly called Luzhou Daqu) produced here are one of the four ancient famous liquors and one of the eight modern famous liquors (Baijiu). Its trademark is "Luzhou", which is a well-known trademark

Luzhou Laojiao Touqu is a kind of Baijiu. Unlike rice wine, beer and fruit wine, Baijiu contains very little sodium, copper and zinc, almost no vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and iron, and only water and ethanol (alcohol). Traditionally, Baijiu is believed to have the functions of promoting blood circulation, promoting medicine, increasing appetite, eliminating fatigue, cultivating sentiment, making people light and refreshing from cold. Drinking a small amount of low alcohol Baijiu can expand small blood vessels, promote blood circulation, delay the deposition of cholesterol and other lipids in the blood vessel wall, which is beneficial to the circulatory system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems

Luzhou Laojiao Touqu liquor has a unique style, and the key lies in the long fermentation age of the cellar, which is a true old cellar. The characteristic of an old cellar is that there are special structural requirements during the construction of the cellar. After long-term use, the mud pool appears red and green in color, the mud becomes soft, and produces a strange aroma. At this time, the fermented mash comes into contact with the cellar mud, and the distilled wine also has a strong aroma. Such a cellar can be called an old cellar. As the cellar age increases, the quality of the brewed wine also continuously improves. The wine brewed in a century old cellar is considered an ideal fine wine. According to historical records, the oldest cellar of Luzhou Qujiu Factory has a cellar age of more than 300 years, and its appearance is still fascinating, making visitors feel fortunate to see it

(1) When selecting, the manufacturer should identify the words "China Sichuan Luzhou Qujiu Factory" or "Sichuan Province Luzhou Qujiu Factory" on the genuine liquor trademark, and the exported liquor should be "China Sichuan Luzhou Distillery" with 8 words and no branch name. To achieve the goal of deceiving the real, fake liquor is often labeled with factory names that have the same pronunciation as real liquor, such as "Luzhou Laojiao Qu Distillery" and "Luzhou Qu Liquor Factory Branch"

(2) Trademark Identification True liquor is a fully labeled trademark with four small characters "Luzhou Laojiao" and three large characters "Tequ liquor" in the middle. There is also a circular trademark pattern and color composed of wheat ears in the center. Fake liquor even has similar shapes and bottle shapes to real liquor, but there are differences in the registered trademark "Luzhou Brand". Generally, it is not advisable to use the "Luzhou Brand" trademark and switch to other names

(3) Seal identification: Genuine liquor is printed with the words "Luzhou Qujiu Factory" on the sealing rubber sleeve of the bottle cap, and the words "Sichuan Luzhou Qujiu Factory Special Qu (Head Qu)" are printed on the metal anti-theft cover. Fake wine does not have a sealing rubber sleeve, and even genuine bottles of fake wine can be identified using this method. Additionally, it can be distinguished from the new procedures for trademarks

(4) Taste identification True wine has four characteristics: strong aroma, mellow, sweet and mellow, and aftertaste. After opening the bottle and removing the cork, the fragrance is elegant and pleasant, with a light and slow taste and infinite charm. The lingering fragrance after drinking lasts for a long time, with a lingering burp and strong aroma that is not easy to get drunk. Especially after drinking, the aftertaste has a special fruity aroma that makes people feel happy. Fake liquor is often of poor quality, turbid and sedimented, with a taste that is completely different from real liquor
