SPIRITS WITH THE MOST BRAND VALUE
WULIANGYE
ORIGIN : China BRAND VALUATION : $ 1.68 bn
Distilled from ultra-fermented sorghum grain , then aged in ceramic vessels for years , Wuliangye belongs to a class of spirits known in China as baijiu . This class happens to be China ’ s spirit of choice , giving baijiu brands massive pull in one of the largest nations in the world — just a few years ago global drinks powerhouse Diageo invested in a majority stake in a smaller rival baijiu brand , proving this type of spirit ’ s mass appeal . Meanwhile Wuliangye remains self-owned and packs plenty of brand value in its own right .
