The
index, which serves as a data-driven reference for development of Yantai's wine
industry, decodes Yantai's experience as a model for other wine-producing
regions across China and globally.
According
to the index report, Yantai Development Sub-Index rose to 143.31 points in
2024, with annual growth averaging over 7 percent since 2019. All its six
sub-indicators related to industrial strength, brand reputation, international
influence, etc. demonstrated consistent growth, solidifying Yantai's position
as a benchmark for industry development.
The index
constructs an evaluation model of "one core, two wings and three
pillars", with industrial strength as the core, brand reputation and
international influence as the two wings, and regional characteristics,
technological innovation and integrated development as the pillars, said Yang
Mu, vice president of CEIS.
Yang said
that this model elucidates the internal driving forces for the sustained
healthy development of Yantai's wine industry. Against the backdrop of
structural adjustments in global wine industry, Yantai provides a valuable
sample of high-quality development for wine-producing regions at home and
abroad.
Robust
industrial strength is the core reason for Yantai wine to seize a foothold in
the national wine sector, with related industrial strength indicator reporting
3.8 percent average annual growth. Such development momentum stems from its
solid industrial foundation, reasonable industrial structure and complete
industrial chain.
Currently,
Yantai has over 200 wine producers, with gross output of enterprises above the
designated size accounting for 41 percent of national total in 2024.
Yantai
not only boasts industry-leading enterprises like Changyu and Weilong, but has
also seen the emergence of boutique wineries such as Junding, Longdai, Guobin,
Longting, and Annuo, which have offered diverse characteristics and become
benchmarks for Yantai's wine quality.
Currently,
Yantai has evolved from a purely wine-producing region to a hub for the entire
industrial chain. The city has established a supporting industrial ecosystem
with comprehensive output value at around 50 billion yuan.
From fine
manufacturing of oak barrels and bottle caps to technological integration for
smart wine-making equipment, Yantai not only produces excellent wine but also
supports the production of fine wine across the country.
Furthermore,
Yantai has become a founding member of the "International Network of
Cities of Vine and Wine" under the International Organisation of Vine and
Wine (OIV) and has been awarded the "International Certificate as a
Responsible Enotourism Destination" by Global Wine Tourism Organization
(GWTO). It is strengthening collaboration with world-renowned wine-producing
regions in France, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and Italy.
