BeijingJune 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On June 20, the “World Winery Influence Index” was officially released at the Winery Culture (Left Bank of the Chishui River) Conference held at Langjiu Winery in Sichuan Province, with representatives from 28 renowned wineries worldwide attending the launch ceremony.

Compiled by the Xinhua Index Research Institute, the index adopts a multi-dimensional evaluation perspective spanning different wine types, production regions, and cultures for the first time. It systematically assesses 94 representative wineries from 23 countries and regions across six continents, establishing a global multi-dimensional evaluation system for wineries that offers explanatory power, comparability, and strategic reference value.
The “World Winery Influence Index” builds a five-dimensional evaluation model based on rooting strength, driving force, vitality, radiating influence, and sustainability. Relying on this evaluation system, the 94 sample wineries globally present a clear tiered structure, divided into 10 leading-level, 35 high-quality-level, 37 backbone-level, and 12 distinctive-level wineries.
Among them, China’s Langjiu Winery, with its outstanding performance in “radiating influence” and “sustainability,” became the only Chinese baijiu winery to be ranked in the “leading-level” category. Langjiu Winery has creatively transformed the complex “growth, storage, and aging” process system of Chinese baijiu into an immersive experience scenario that receives over 200,000 visitors annually, successfully constructing a winery narrative system capable of dialoguing with the world, serving as a landmark example of the rise of Chinese wineries.
Industry experts believe that the release of the “World Winery Influence Index” not only provides a “reference framework” for global wineries to benchmark their development but also offers important insights for the winery-oriented and international development path of Chinese baijiu. It will effectively promote higher-quality integrated development among global wineries through mutual learning among civilizations.
The Winery Culture (Left Bank of the Chishui River) Conference was co-hosted by the China Economic Information Service and Sichuan Langjiu Co., Ltd. With the theme “Heritage and Innovation,” the conference brought together global winery wisdom, built a high-level dialogue platform, and promoted the global wine industry’s transition from “classic heritage” to “value renewal,” helping China’s wine industry achieve “cultural going global.”
