Treat “1990 Five Star” and “1991 Feitian” initially as candidate descriptions visible on two labels. This page creates separate item and provenance records for M90 and M91; without direct contemporaneous evidence, a market nickname must not become a conclusion about batch, authenticity or fixed packaging.
Identity fields that the two bottles must not share
| Item no. | Visible candidate | Exact transcription |
|---|---|---|
| M90 | 1990 wording and a candidate Five Star graphic | Brand, product name, producer, ABV, bottle size, date/batch, front and back labels |
| M91 | 1991 wording and a candidate Feitian graphic | Brand, product name, producer, ABV, bottle size, date/batch, front and back labels |
Check the closure and provenance bottle by bottle
- Photograph the cap, seal, printed code, neck, bottle base, fill level and any leakage separately.
- Match each outer box, inner tray, receipt, old label and provenance record to M90 or M91.
- The year wording and graphic are visible differences, but neither proves the production year or authenticity on its own.
- Do not patch a seal, reattach a label, scrub the bottle or open it for verification.
Frequently asked questions about these two Moutai bottles
Do the Five Star and Feitian graphics establish the batch?

Can 1990/1991 be entered directly as the production year?
First transcribe the wording on the item. Contemporaneous evidence is needed to establish whether it denotes a production, release or packaging date.
Can the two bottles share one packaging inventory?
No. Match every box, inner tray, receipt and provenance record separately to avoid later pairings.
