In May 1949, the experimental factory of North China Wine Monopoly Company, the predecessor of Red Star, was established, and then 12 old wineries including Yuansheng were incorporated, fully inheriting the traditional brewing technology of Beijing Erguotou. As the first state-owned brewery in Beijing, it brewed the first batch of red star brand Erguotou wine, a tribute to the birth of new China. Due to the excellent completion of the task, Red Star became the only wine company that participated in the founding ceremony. At the same time, Red Star has also become the first enterprise in Beijing to use the name of Erguotou technology as the product name, creating the category of Erguotou in Beijing.
Red Star is a famous time-honored enterprise in China and a national intangible cultural heritage protection unit. For more than 70 years, it has always practiced the historical mission of "making good wine for the people", and has become the leading wine on the people's table. In 1951, the Red Star trademark became one of the first trademarks approved and registered in the People's Republic of China, known as "the first trademark of the Erguotou family". In 1958, Red Star registered all the trademarks of "Red Star Erguotou Liquor". In 1965, Red Star carried out centralized management of 19 suburban wineries and devoted itself to imparting Erguotou's skills, making Erguotou's category from one branch to a hundred flowers bloom; In 1997, Red Star 56 degree sophomore was recognized by the State Bureau of Technical Supervision as the national physical standard sample of Erguotou Liquor, becoming a quality benchmark.
