China's top liquor brand, widely reported to have been sampled by Russian presidents Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin on their visits to the country, is about to make its debut in Russia.
Moutai, produced by Guizhou-based Kweichow Moutai Co, will be sold in stores there for the first time, priced at around 900 yuan ($142) a bottle, the company said in Moscow on Monday.
The product is a high-proof fermented spirit made from sorghum and other grains, and one of a group of drinks collectively known as baijiu in China.
