Let’s discuss this together; I also came across this issue by chance.
It depends on local customs; in places with better resources, a wider variety of wines is available – white, red, yellow, and beer, all of them. However, baijiu might be the most difficult to choose from; for example, Moutai and Wuliangye are often hard to distinguish as the better one.
I saw someone mention Feitian Moutai and Shanxi Fenjiu{:2_41:}
Fenjiu seems to belong to the \"light-flavored\" category; its main aromatic component is ethyl acetate, right? Strong-flavored baijiu like Wuliangye seems to be mainly composed of ethyl hexanoate, while Moutai is of the soy-flavor type. Thirty or forty years ago, edible alcohol was produced by fermenting and distilling whole grains; by adding water and various flavors such as alcohols, acids, aldehydes, and esters, baijiu was created to be consumed by the majority of consumers at lower and middle income levels. At that time, people tried to craft liquor based on the composition analysis tables provided in relevant magazines. If baijiu was made according to Maotai’s composition profile, it would have no resemblance to Maotai in terms of taste and aroma. This shows just how complex liquor is – at least for now, it’s difficult to produce high-quality liquor using only edible alcohol. Liquor is indeed a very complex substance. I often say that when friends get together, the first sip is meant to appreciate the quality of the liquor, while the subsequent sips are about enjoyment and camaraderie, with little to do with the quality of the liquor itself
Of course, the more varieties, the better; and of course, the higher the quality, the better. But it should be noted that, to ensure safety and avoid problems, it’s best to limit the amount. Otherwise, it’s better not to invite them if something goes wrong. Actually, the greater purpose is to make money. It’s best to be rational on a small scale, because one has to take responsibility when things go wrong.
