Yibin Wuliangye

Yibin Wuliangye is a protected geographical indication product.

　　Originally named "Mixed Grain Liquor," Wuliangye is meticulously brewed from five types of grains: non-glutinous rice, glutinous rice, corn, sorghum, and wheat. It won the Gold Medal for Fine Liquor at the 1916 Panama International Exposition. In 1929, Yang Huiquan, a scholar from the Qing Dynasty, found its name inelegant and renamed it "Wuliangye." According to expert appraisal, the Yibin Wuliangye wine cellar is a relic from the Ming Dynasty, dating back over 500 years. Wuliangye is a strong-aroma Baijiu characterized by its rich fragrance, smooth and sweet taste, clean and refreshing finish, and lingering aftertaste.

　　The protected production area for the Yibin Liquor geographical indication product includes the current administrative regions of nine counties and one district in Yibin City, Sichuan Province: Cuiping District, Yibin County, Nanxi County, Jiang'an County, Changning County, Gao County, Gong County, Junlian County, Xingwen County, and Pingshan County.
