Market sources say wholesale prices for eighth-generation Wuliangye have risen since Aug 4, jumping on third-party price platforms from 730 yuan to 745 yuan per bottle. Wholesale quotes in Henan, Hebei, Shanghai, Sichuan and Shandong have breached 760 yuan per bottle, with one-week gains exceeding 30 yuan. A Sichuan distributor said the rise reflects partial adjustments to the company's channel policy and is not the result of supply suspension.

Housing consumption has risen to the top of big-ticket spending, and multiple major property-market cities are preparing measures to boost housing demand. Chengdu is designing sales policies focused on optimizing supply, stimulating demand, reducing inventory and stabilizing expectations; measures remain under internal review and will be published once finalized. Hefei, aligning with national policy direction, is coordinating with relevant departments on an action plan to promote cross-sector linkage to support consumption. Wuhan is building a policy toolkit for H2 aimed at linking primary and secondary markets, accelerating commercial/office destocking (including conversions), and increasing supply of higher-quality housing. Nanjing plans timely policy tweaks to expand listings of diversified “good homes” and run trade-in-for-new programs to unlock rigid and upgrade demand. Hangzhou, Qingdao, Chongqing and Jinan say they are keeping policy reserves and will dynamically adjust measures to stabilize the real estate market.
