The DBP was 260 percent above the level allowed in the country, the website said.
It quoted experts as saying long-term intake of food or drink with plasticizers disrupted hormone levels and could also damage the immune and digestive systems and even cause liver cancer.
However, liquor producer Hunan Jiugui Liquor Co in central China's Hunan Province disputed the findings and said they would not be recalling products.
It told NetEase website money.163.com that the Intertek company was not authoritative.
The website said the company had previously sent products to the country's quality supervision facility for checks but no plasticizers had been found.
Jiugui Vice President Fan Zhen told China National Radio he had been confused by the media reports. Fan said the company used traditional methods and didn't add plasticizer during the production process.
He also said there was no national standard for plasticizers in liquor but confirmed that the company would be sending their products to an official facility for checks.
Experts say any chemicals in the drink may have come from plastic products, such as conduits or containers, that are used in the distilling process.
