Wuhe Jiu is a Geographical Indication Protected Product.
Wuhe Jiu is a specialty of Dingxing County, Baoding City, Hebei Province.

Wuhe Jiu has been awarded the status of a Geographical Indication Protected Product.
Baoding Wuhe Jiu Co., Ltd. is situated on the south side of Gu Yao Road, Dingxing County, Hebei Province, within the Beijing-Tianjin-Baoding triangular area, 90 kilometers from Beijing, 122 kilometers from Tianjin, and 50 kilometers from Baoding. It is close to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, National Highways 107 and 112, as well as the Beijing-Shenzhen and Zhangshi Expressways. The company employs over 300 staff members.
Wuhe Jiu is positioned as a mid- to high-end liquor. Fine lees were transported from Wuliangye Distillery, and technical experts were invited to refine the brewing techniques based on the local soil and water quality. Premium-quality sorghum, rice, corn, glutinous rice, and wheat are carefully selected as raw materials. The resulting liquor is crystal clear, with a rich cellar aroma, pure and mellow flavor, sweet taste upon entry, clean and refreshing aftertaste, and a profound aftereffect. It fills a gap in Hebei Province for high-quality Baijiu brewed from five types of grain and remains unique to this day.
In accordance with the "Regulations on the Protection of Geographical Indication Products," the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine organized experts to review the application for Geographical Indication Product protection for Wuhe Jiu. Upon successful evaluation, Wuhe Jiu was approved as a Geographical Indication Protected Product, with protection taking effect immediately.
