In the 16th year of Han Yongyuan (A.D. 104), the wine-making industry in Hengshui has developed to a certain scale. In the Tang dynasty, Hengshui wine was listed as a world famous wine; In the Ming Dynasty, Hengshui wine was listed as a national banquet wine, enjoying the reputation of "three drunkards next door and ten incense on the altar". During Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Hengshui Liquor was named "Laobaigan". "Old" refers to its long production time; "White" means that wine is colorless and transparent; "Dry" means that no water is produced after burning with fire, that is, it is pure. These three words accurately summarize the characteristics of Hengshui Laobai dry wine. After that, Hengshui Laobai dry wine is famous for its three fragrances of "fragrant smell, sweet taste and lingering fragrance after drinking". According to the current international wine industry practice, "old" means "old", and old wine is aged wine. Liquor is distilled liquor. Any wine with low sugar content is called dry wine. "Laobaigan" is interpreted as "aged distilled liquor without sugar, or dried aged sorghum liquor" according to the current popular beverage names. 1946 After the liberation of Hengshui, the government nationalized 18 traditional private brewing workshop and established the "State-owned Jinan Administrative Office Hengshui Brewery".

It is famous for its unique wine quality of 67 degrees. Consumers generally reflect that "although the alcohol content is high, it is high but not bitter, and it will not get drunk after drinking." It is precisely because of its excellent quality and the care of consumers that after the national ban on the production of high-alcohol liquor was promulgated and strictly enforced, it was still allowed to produce 67-degree liquor.
