It's not recommended to store baijiu (Chinese liquor) in plastic矿泉水 bottles for long-term storage. Here's why:
1. Material Safety: Most矿泉水 bottles are made of PET plastic, which may react with high-alcohol liquids like baijiu (typically 40-60% alcohol) over time. Chemicals from the plastic could leach into the liquor, affecting its taste and safety.
2. Poor Sealing: Plastic bottles are less airtight than glass containers, which may lead to alcohol evaporation and flavor loss.
3. Light Exposure: Transparent plastic offers no UV protection, accelerating degradation of the liquor's quality.
Short-term use (1-2 weeks) might be acceptable if no better container is available, but for long-term storage:
Always prioritize food-grade containers designed for alcohol storage.
