Summary · why it matters

Freshippo has recently launched its Sauce Aroma No.1 10-year true vintage baijiu, priced at 198 yuan, marking its first entry into the vintage spirits segment and gradually rolling out to nearly 500 stores nationwide. The product discloses the base liquor blending ratio on its outer packaging and uses the youngest base liquor vintage as the product name, setting it apart from the industry’s common weighted average vintage standard. Sam’s Club is also clearly pricing and standardizing the display of famous vintage baijiu, arranging them side by side by production year so that price differences across vintages are clearly visible. Upstream distilleries are also pushing for a return to value. Anhui Golden Seed Winery has launched its vintage soft series, targeting the 80 to 200 yuan price band, while Luzhou Laojiao’s Guojiao 1573 will also introduce 10-year, 15-year, and 20-year vintage series. Amid the industry’s adjustment cycle, vintage baijiu price bands are moving downward overall. Products once concentrated in the mid-to-high end are now penetrating the mass-market 100 to 200 yuan range. The direct-supply retail model bypasses the traditional multi-tier distribution system, squeezing out hoarding and speculation, and making it increasingly difficult for traditional distributors to profit from information asymmetry.
