China's baijiu market has grown increasingly active in recent years, and prices for many brands have continued to rise. A new luxury category has therefore emerged: premium Chinese baijiu.
We still believe that baijiu is made to be drunk, so it should not be speculated on or treated solely as an investment collectible. Pricing a bottle at several thousand, or even tens of thousands, is not what distillers should be aiming for.
So which Chinese baijiu counts as a luxury?
To repeat the old saying: baijiu is for drinking. At current consumption levels in mainland China, we regard a 500ml bottle priced above RMB 800 as a luxury. Which Chinese baijiu falls into that category?
1. Feitian Moutai, Zodiac Moutai, commemorative Moutai and others;
2. Wuliangye Puwu, Wuliangye 1618 and others;
3. Qinghua Lang, Qingyun Lang, Hongyun Lang and others;
4. Luzhou Laojiao Guojiao 1573;
6. Yanghe Dream Blue;
7. Jiannanchun Dongfanghong 1949;
8. Fenjiu Qinghua 50;
8. Premium products from Xifeng, Dongjiu, Gujing Gongjiu, Jiugui Jiu, Cai Tao Fang and other well-known producers;
