Liquor, known as a national speciality and a traditional drink as well, its annual yield is above five million tons which stands second on the lists of national drinks and the amount of its manufacturing enterprises is about thirty thousand nationwide. Judged from annual yield and the quality, Luzhou-flavour liquor, Maotai-flavour liquor and new craft liquor stand chief positions in liquor-making industry in China. Luzhou Laojiao and Maotai are typical representatives of Luzhou-flavour liquor and Maotai-flavour liquor respectively. The utilization of the research achievements of Luzhou-flavour liquor and Maotai-flavour liquor from 1950′s to 1970′s nationwide has triggered off their quick development. In addition, new craft liquor, which began in 1950′s, owing to its properties such as lower consumption of grains etc., has directed the development trend in the burgeoning liquor-making industry in the new century.
