The pearlescent white box and gold and white dual-color lid of the Rooster Year Moutai make it one of the freshest designs in the zodiac series. Fan Yang's painting, "Rooster Announcing the Dawn," has made this vintage particularly popular for gifting. Before selling, we recommend you self-inspect the following five points for a more accurate quotation from us.

Key Inspection Points for Rooster Year Moutai – Pearlescent White is Prone to Moisture Damage and Discoloration

  1. Difficulty of Preserving the White Cardboard Box: The pearlescent white cardboard box of the Rooster Year edition is the most susceptible to "aging" among the zodiac series. Any water stains, fingerprints, or yellow spots are immediately noticeable. An authentic product's white color should be uniform without discoloration; those exposed to moisture may show wavy undulations. Pay particular attention to the bottom and corners of the box upon receipt.

  2. Verification of Colors in Fan Yang's "Rooster Announcing the Dawn": The red of the rooster's comb in the bottle's design is a specially blended cinnabar red, with high saturation but not harsh. A common issue with fakes is that the red appears orange or too dark. The blue-green gradient of the rooster's tail should be continuous and natural.

  3. Luster of the Gold and White Dual-Color Lid: The demarcation line between the gold on the top of the lid and the white on the body of the lid should be straight and clear. After 9 years of aging in 2017, the gold part might show very slight oxidation (appearing darker), but there should be no green rust.

  4. Stage of Spirit Development: For a 9-year-aged sauce-aroma Moutai, the fruity aroma begins to transform into a honey aroma. Swirling the bottle should show a "wine tears" effect. A liquid level at the shoulder/neck is normal.

  5. Batch Traceability: The Rooster Year edition is particularly popular for gifting ("great fortune and prosperity" auspicious meaning), so market circulation is relatively ample, but the proportion of counterfeits is also high. Cross-verification with the three-code check + UV light test is more reliable.
