Boutique Moutai was once a state banquet-level high-grade wine. It was originally a special wine, but later it was gradually sold abroad because of its larger market. It belongs to the aged grade of Maotai, second only to vintage liquor, while ordinary Tian Fei Maotai is the most basic liquor in the Maotai series, belonging to Pumao grade, which is three grades lower than fine Maotai.
