Affected by the chaos of the liquor market, when it comes to bare-bottle liquor, many people will associate it with inferior liquor.
In fact, a bare bottle does not equal inferior quality, a fine box does not equal good, and the quality of the wine ultimately depends on the conscience of the winery.
The early Wuliangye, Luzhou old wine, Fenjiu, Xifeng and other famous wines are all started with light bottles, and now the light bottle wine is a continuation of this tradition on the one hand, on the other hand, it can indeed save costs and improve the cost performance, it saves packaging fees, and there is only a transparent glass bottle and the label paper on the bottle body to indicate its composition and some important parameters.
At present, the bare bottle wine is facing the low-end liquor market, and it can also be seen as the last fig leaf for the distillery.
