Keyword 4: intergenerational consumption faults — young group expansion is imminent
The problem of the inter-generational faults associated with the trajectories of consumer groups became more pronounced in 2025. Market research data show that currently less than 15 per cent of the population consumes alcohol under 30 years of age, and that the acceptance and frequency of consumption of alcohol by young consumers is low。

Keyword 7: empirical terminals — super-end construction, enhanced consumption connections
The innovation of the terminal model has accelerated, shifting from traditional marketing terminals to experiential super terminals. It is planned that over a period of three years, cultural experience halls will be built as super terminals that combine “functional + experience + emotions + socialization”; regional liquor firms will also deploy experiential terminals, such as the tavern of the tavern, the old cellar showhouse, to improve consumer awareness of brand culture and to improve user viscerality by enhancing consumer experience。
Keyword 8: internationalized acceleration - from product to cultural output

Guizhou has launched a three-year plan of action for white wine exports, and the global wine company has led more than 30 liquor companies into six countries, reaching a target of over $1 billion; at the enterprise level, international brands such as the united kamu have promoted non-relict process dialogue and the replicating of the overseas experience marketing of wine lee。
Keyword 9: low-intensity innovation - adapted to multiple demand and lower consumption thresholds

Powder has introduced a new 45-degree version of the product that takes into account taste and suitability, and many regional liquor companies have also introduced low-level products, with degrees concentrated at 38-45 degrees. Low-intensity products not only lower the white wine consumption threshold, but are also better suited to light consumption scenarios such as home-drinking, friends gathering and so forth, becoming important players in expanding markets。
Keyword 10: logical transition of valuation - from the rate of increase at the base to the value of the user's life cycle
The logic of the valuation of white wine enterprises in the capital market has changed significantly. With the shift from a “sale of alcohol” to a “sale of lifestyles”, it is generally suggested that industry valuations will shift from traditional “breeding rates” to “user life-cycle values”. Enterprises with clear scenarios and high user capacity are more capital-friendly。
In the future, firms that are able to grasp consumption trends with precision, sustain innovation experiences and build core competitiveness will stand firm in the transformation of their industries and open a new chapter in high-quality development。
