Guiyang (CNS) -- China's largest annual Moutai and fine liquor auction closed on Sunday with the famous brand having a far less satisfactory showing than last year.
Eighty-one sets of bidding items fetched altogether 1.96 million yuan (US$ 310,791). Though the number of bids reset the record for the auction, total and single turnovers were both much lower than in previous years.
An earthenware bottle of Five Star Moutai that at one time fetched 1.456 million yuan (US$ 230,872) was sold for its starting price of 150,000 yuan. A Moutai 1958 started from a low of 300,000 yuan (US$ 47,570) but no bidders came forward.
Moutai products supplied to state banquets and unavailable to retail outlets are not commonly circulated and therefore popular due to their rarity, but only half of these products were sold on Sunday, and all at relatively low prices.
The huge gap between this year's take and those of previous years must be attributed to market misjudgment of the stock and value of Moutai produced during the 1950s. Reserves of Moutai products from that era are more abundant than estimated, which inevitably leads to a value readjustment, a bidder surnamed Li informed CNS.
Other fine liquor products made in the 1980s were introduced to the auction for the first time. Whether the novel brands have the potential to appreciate still needs time to observe, one bidder commented.
中新社貴陽4月22日電 (記者 張偉)近期中國國內(nèi)最大規(guī)模茅臺酒、名酒專場拍賣會(huì)22日在貴陽落錘。雖然拍品成交數(shù)創(chuàng)下歷屆新高，但相較于去年成交率近100%，成交記錄不斷刷新的情況，今年拍賣會(huì)略顯冷清。
拍賣會(huì)當(dāng)天共拍出81個(gè)標(biāo)的、總計(jì)196萬元人民幣的貴州名酒。
會(huì)上，備受關(guān)注的一瓶1959年土陶瓶五星茅臺以起拍價(jià)15萬元成交，遠(yuǎn)低于145.6萬元的歷史最高拍賣價(jià)。而另1瓶1958年出廠的茅臺酒以30萬元“低價(jià)”起拍，雖為近期同類酒中最低價(jià)，卻慘遭流拍。
