BEIJING, Sept 4 — Kweichow Moutai 600519.SS and coffee brand Luckin Coffee today launched in China a latte advertised as containing the fiery Chinese spirit baijiu, as the Chinese luxury liquor maker aims to pull in more younger consumers.
Moutai, known as the national liquor of China, is a potent, colourless spirit that is usually served at banquets in China, and drinkers say that the flavour and aroma of Kweichow Moutai’s version are similar to soy sauce. The companies said the latte alcohol content was lower than 0.5 per cent of its volume.
Chinese social media users posted videos of themselves picking up cups of the drink and being told by sales staff that they should not drive after drinking it. By this afternoon in Beijing, the app showed buyers would need to wait for more than an hour to pick up their drinks, up from the usual few minutes.
