Kweichow Moutai is a traditional style of Chinese baijiu liquor from China's Guizhou province. It has the taste and aroma of tropical fruits, pears, smoky nuts and sweet plums.
Please note that there is currently a limit of 3 bottles per member
—- $10 cheaper than Dan Murphys which has been out of stock for a long time. https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_369976/kweichow-mou…
Suspicious would be a fake Moutai
You mean Costco selling fake products overall?
Normally you will find a little torch inside box of 6. That special torch helps you to check authentic labelling.
Is it just a black light?
Seriously 500ml of liquor for $389.99 (discounted price) and this is a bargain??? Am i missing something?
Depends on the date. They can go for $10000 for very matured ones.
you talking about my liquor or my escorts?
Older the milf the lower the price though
That's $3.6m USD is across the whole auction lot. According to your article the highest individual bottle was ~$121,000 AUD which is still pretty insane.
The most expensive bottle of baijiu auctioned so far is a 1935 Lay Mau that was sold for RMB 10 million (US$1.46 million) in Guizhou, Moutai’s home base, in 2011.
This is some of the most expensive baijiu, some go for much more
then wouldn't this be a CHEAPER one?
These stealz our dataz from the inside?
Not directly, but the money you paid on it might help the big bros.
Great price, need to get Costco membership then. But the limit of 3 bottles per member is a bummer.
bummer
Yes, normally that is the quick way to get drunk.
Great for degreasing engine parts.
Bought 4.
Lies! Max 3 pp /S
I have dissociative identity disorder. 2 bottles each.
What country are these made in?
Taiwan?
Insert casual racist remark
Would rather have some Kavalan then.
Taiwan is NOT China
Tell that to CCP
Taiwan is the Republic of China
Culturally Taiwan is very much China. In fact it is the Republic of China
Dan Murphy’s you can use 5% off wish GC though…
Why are so posts being negged just for asking questions?
The casual racism is probably what's attracted the downvotes. So casual the poster doesn't even realise they're being racist.
If only you knew what they think of the rest of the world

Go on
I'm ethnically Chinese, so I definitely know it. Doesn't change that some of the comments here are a bit on the nose.
@kwchaz: It's impossible to be "ethnically Chinese" - the word "Chinese" is a nationality, not an ethnicity (despite the genocide being committed by the Han-controlled CPC against minority groups in an attempt to make it otherwise). It's more accurate to state you're ethnically Han, Tibetan, Zhuang, Miao, Uighur or the long list of the other ethnicities that the Han people have attempted to eradicate.
Casual racism isn't the only reason posts here are being downvoted. This is ozbargain, where people downvote anything minor that rubs them the wrong way, like expecting people to know the answer to the question before the question needs to be written or answered, or calling them out. We have an oddly specific demographic here. If you can't conform or don't converse the way they do here, you get downvoted.
More like being snowflakes. No need to make everything about racism.

do aussies blend a vb in kangaroo meat or mix it with a coffee?
You mean I've been doing it wrong?!?!
I lather Vegemite on my tim tam, then suck vb out from one end.
i reckon
VB coffee is a good pre workout
VB kanga would be a nice post workout shake
Tom Yum soup isn't even Chinese.
Surely one of the most unintelligent racist posts here.
I'm Chinese and I found this funny. Downvoters need to lighten up.
LA cola works with everything …
The best sht! Thx op
Will this kill the Rona virus?
heard if you snort it or inject it you might kill the virus but you might also end up dead
Only if you're asian, and not a privileged racist.
Trump recommends direct disinfectant injection for best results.
When I visited people in China they basically force fed me this stuff for a whole week. Felt like I had a whole bottle most nights. One of the drunkest weeks of my life, with constant shots that I was expected to drink. Fun, but a little pushy and way too expensive for my liking.
Didn't much like the stuff, burns like petrol, but came to appreciate the quality. I never had a hangover the next day, the mornings were always pretty good.
The only exception was one night when I got sick of the spirits and suggested beers instead. I probably only had 3 or 4, didn't get very drunk, and felt terrible after.
Then again, binge-drinkability is not a particularly useful trait for a $400 bottle. Much better to have that in a Johnny Red or something
The older the moutai the smoother it is. It might be $400 for a bottle of ‘18, but you’d be looking at significantly more for a bottle of ‘08.
Still tastes like crap. I have a bottle yesrs old.
The fact is Moutai is an acquired taste, I would say most Chinese people are not be able to appreciate it, myself included. To me, it tastes and smells funny. A lot of people tend to drink it for the name and it gives them "face" on a dinner table. I would recommend Wu Liang Ye instead which is much easier drinking for people who are just starting to get into Chinese rice spirits.
Good stuff. Had them when hosted by some government official when we visited PRC some years back.
Easily one of the most fragrant and smooth liquor I have ever had. The Americans in the team loved it too. 4 bottles down for the night, amongst the 15 of us.
True, I made it sound like it tastes worse than it does. It’s pretty good, but an acquired taste, like any spirit
It’s strong, but not without some pleasantness to it.
Yea. I was genuinely surprised on how good it was.
Before that, always sceptical about Chinese white "wine"/liquor.
These things (genuine ones) are more rare than Japanese whisky because the rise of PRC middle class (as well " gifting).
Alot of fakes, and those are the meth that people have tried.
Yikes, the comments on here - didn't know I accidentally signed up to OzRacists
Its the new norm here now, keyboard warriors love their anonymity sitting behind a screen.
Yuck yuck yuck
Donald Trump is that you?
Alot of trump minded sheeps here
Missing at least two "very"s and a "nasty"
I have a bottle of this from about 5 years ago. Still over 80%full. Tastes like dirt or earthy. Could use for rocket fuel.
Some people criticising this drink, when they probably never heard or even tried casu marzu…
pftt. Absinthe is better. Bit of cold water over sugar cube.
Ejà!
I heard a lot of Labor politicians have these in their liquor cupboards.
Maybe former Liberal party politicians have 880,000 of them.
https://www.smh.com.au/national/liberal-andrew-robb-took-880…
This Liberal politician was the architect of the Australia China free trade agreement and then goes into that job after leaving politics.
LOL what's next, 2000 dollar Xiaomi phones!!
Is this April fool?
There's $4000 xiaomi phone and $10000 xiaomi TVs. You need to get out more.
Check my name.. can't
is that the transparent glass panel TV
https://www.dezeen.com/2020/08/15/xiaomi-transparent-tv-mi-t…
This is a terrible price though.
This must be a joke. This is “normal” price I’d say - normal=over priced. Used to be $200 only a couple years ago.
Will the Daigous export this to mainland for profit
Haha. Likely.
Ppl in the PRC are happy to pay, but not trusting local source for genuine products.
Some person hosted us said his Penfold 389s are "water stock" via HK (with a premium) despite Penfold officially sell them there. That dude didn't trust local supplies.
It tastes as classy as the bottle it comes in and isn’t worth the plastic it’s surrounded by.
But this is ozbargain and thats a good price, bought 10 😂
Is this the drink they said you can live up to 100 years?
Yes. Without it, you'd live at least a 100 years but you're limited to "up to 100 years" with an ailing liver.
Ha ha. V quick.
…. Live up to a 100 years indeed, you can say that for Coca cola, Whiskey, Cod-liver oil, daily enemas…..
Mmmm. Daily cod liver oil enemas.
I am pretty sure it is expensive as Australia imposed an anti-dumping tariff of 202.70% on Chinese spirits, just like China looking to imposed the same fee on Australian wine.
Your comments won’t be popular, as you are not allowed to talk about what Aussie’s has done only the other way around
Genuinely curious to know where you read this.
https://theconversation.com/its-hard-to-tell-why-china-is-ta…
That is the source, the first part of my comment was meant to be sarcastic though….
Missed the sarcasm. Carry on.
Jeez. I missed the sarcasm too.
You wrote it like it was fact…
I don’t drink but here is the historical fact:
Moutai is named after the town with the same name near Zunyi in Renhuai, Guizhou Province, where liquor distillery has a very long history. The Moutai of today originated during the Qing Dynasty and first won international fame when winning a gold medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco.
Moutai originated during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912), when northern Chinese distillers introduced advanced techniques to local processes to create a distinctive type of baijiu.
Trump: Fake News.
This is, without a shadow of doubt, the most disgusting booze I've ever tasted. If you gifted me a bottle, I'd pour it down the sink (and then worry about the drain pipes).
Told cha not to buy them off Aliexpress! Haha.
Why the downvoted on this comment? Clearly ausmomo found it disgusting. It's his taste preference.
Haha
Stanklicious.
The only time I tried Baijiu I was poured a shot at a restaurant. I couldn't finish half of it, even with trying to have it with food. It tasted like a slightly sweet sickening rot. So much for $20/shot.
I'd say definitely try before you buy a whole bottle.
I never knew it could be this expensive, or even more expensive. Clearly some people like it..
@kahn: Sounds like every oligopoly and monopoly that relies on its brand to cut corners. The last thing you can call them is incapable.
