Reporter in-depth visit to wine bottles recycling "industrial chain"

A Wuliangye 1618 empty bottle recycling price of more than 60 yuan, a Maotai 30 year vintage wine bottle recycling price as high as 600 yuan. After the publication of the newspaper tracking bottle recall series, it attracted the attention of many readers. In a few days of investigations and interviews, the reporter learned that there are indeed a group of professional wine and wine bottles in the society. The empty bottles of wines that cost up to several hundred yuan are generally recycled. The flow of these famous wines and bottles is still confusing.

True bottle of liquor is difficult to distinguish authenticity

Counterfeit wine is amazing

After some contact, Xiao Liu seems to have confirmed

The reporters and others purchased the old bottles, he said, which is already an open secret in the industry. Xiao Liu, who has been in the bottle recycling business for several years, said that he has a certain understanding of fake wine manufacturing. He particularly cautioned that, generally, after going back, he would put labels on the front and back sides of the bottle, and the wine bottle caps would be re-produced. Now people who drink wine generally just look at the front of the bottle, as long as the bottle looks like a new one, generally not. Will suspect that the wine is fake.

The reporter also learned from the conversation with Xiao Liu that they had empty bottles of wine in their hands, far away from Beijing and other places, near Wenzhou, Jinhua, and even Keqiao, some people came to the door, the general number of goods can be how much .

A Wuliangye Luzhou-flavored bottle sells for only 4 yuan. How much does a bottle of Wuliangye Luzhou-flavor liquor sell? The reporter saw in a famous wine store that a bottle of Luzhou-flavor liquor, according to the degree of alcohol, was priced from 600 yuan to 700 yuan. Maotai 15 years old wine empty bottle as long as 300 yuan, but the store in Maotai 15 years of the wine price is 4980 yuan.

Comparing the recovery price of empty bottles and the market price of these famous wines, the “profiteering” is staggering. Some consumers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and bought only a real wine bottle.

Unannounced visits by reporters:

Looking for a wine bottle recycler

After many inquiries, on January 25, the reporter found a professional empty bottle recycling station near the Chang'an Road Passenger Transport Center in the urban area. The reporter saw at the recycling station that there were piles of used wine bottles all over the place, and at a glance it could be seen that all types of famous wine bottles had clearly been subdivided. Later, the reporter found the owner as a recycler and conducted the following dialogue:

Reporter: How do you sell your famous wine bottle here?

Boss: Maotai empty bottle 1.5 yuan each, Wuliangye 1.6 yuan, 1.2 yuan Jiannanchun, Shuijingfang 2 yuan. If you want, you can pull it all away. If you only pick the bottle, add a little price.

Reporter: Is there no more upscale wine bottle?

Boss: Our bottles are all recycled from the hotel. I'm not upscale. If you want to recycle, I can introduce you to a fellow Liu, who is specializing in this.

The boss revealed that Xiao Liu has been a famous bottle recycler for many years and the stranger will not sell it. The boss enthusiastically contacted the reporter with Xiao Liu and agreed to look at the price on the next day.

From the insider:

Famous wine bottle recycling nationwide “network”

According to the prior agreement, on the 26th, the reporter saw Xiao Liu in a wine bottle recycling station in the west of the downtown area.

"Wuliangye this kind of wine bottle 4 dollars a." And the Changan recycling station is not the same, Xiao Liu brought to reporters the bottle is relatively new, the bottle cap on the security logo is still intact.

"My bottle is almost undamaged. You can check it face-to-face." Xiao Liu said he is currently recovering empty wine bottles from Beijing, Hangzhou and other cities in the province. He is the oldest customer of the bottle recycling station and the hotel. In general, the wine bottles in these places will be left to him. Most people cannot receive it.

The reporter asked whether Liu had more upscale empty bottles. He said that the sales of Wuliangye Luzhou-flavor liquor and Wuliangye 1618 are the best on the market, so these two types of empty bottles are also very good shots. He here sold the Wuliangye 1618 wine bottles a few days ago.

The reporter then asked whether Liu had empty bottles of Maotai's 15-year-old wine. Then Xiao Liu made several phone calls in front of reporters.

"No, Maotai, Wuliangye 1618 is a few boxes, 350 yuan a box, if you want to take." On the phone, a wine bottle recycler said.

"There are two sets of Maotai in 15 years, but there is no glass, a set of 300 yuan." Another bottle recycler said on the phone, the other also stressed that because of the lack of a glass to sell.

Xiao Liu said that it is difficult to accept high-grade bottles. He is now not only in Shaoxing, Wenzhou and other places, even went to Beijing and Shanghai to collect. Not long ago, he spent more than two months in Beijing and received several sets of Maotai bottles for 15 years.

"These high-grade bottles are also recovered from private homes. There is no communication between peers, so it is convenient for shipping." Liu said. He has been making empty bottles of famous wines for five to six years, and is considered a veteran in the industry. As long as the buyer determines what brand of wine bottle to buy, he will surely get it.
