How about HADAY Haitian cooking wine brand introduction

Haitian started in Foshan Sauce Garden during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was one of the first batch of "China Time-honored Brand" enterprises. As its flagship product, the soy sauce series has ranked first in the country in terms of market sales all year round. Although cooking wine products are not as well-known as soy sauce, they rank fifth in the domestic market share, and their strength should not be underestimated.
 
Although it only entered the cooking wine market in 2014, Haitian quickly integrated the series into its product line with its strong marketing network and brand effect, and successfully established itself. Variety shows such as "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Familiar Taste" sponsored by the title have also further improved brand awareness and strengthened young consumer groups.
 
Haitian cooking wine can be divided into Huadiao series, aging series and Gudao series according to its positioning from high to low. All three series have an alcohol content of 10%, but there are differences in the base. Among them, the Huadiao series and the aging series are brewed cooking wines, without adding edible alcohol; The Gudao series is made of 3-year-old rice wine, supplemented by a small proportion of edible alcohol as the base of the wine, which is a cooking wine.
 
"Huadiao Cooking Wine" is the base of the high-grade rice wine, Huadiao Wine, with a particularly strong aroma and a more mellow taste. The price of this product is naturally higher than that of ordinary brewing cooking wine, 480mL is priced at 22.8 yuan, which is the same price as Lao Henghe's high-end series of "ten-year aging kitchen Huadiao", but Lao Henghe's alcohol content is 15 °, while Haitian only reaches 10 °, and the performance is slightly inferior. The "Cooking Rice Wine" of the Haitian Aging Series, although the wine base is not as good as the "Huadiao Cooking Wine", is slightly inferior in aroma and taste, but it is enough for ordinary home cooking, and the price of the same specification is about 16 yuan.
 
The Gudao series includes three products: "Green Onion and Ginger Cooking Wine", "Five Spice Wine" and "Gudao Cooking Wine". Due to the addition of edible alcohol, the taste and texture of rice wine are diluted, so the flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate is added to improve the umami of the product. Among them, "Gudao Cooking Wine" is the most popular product of Haitian, which is available in two packages: 450mL and 1.9L, which meet the different needs of families and restaurants. The price of a single liter is between 11-17 yuan, although it is not as cost-effective as Lao Henghe and Hengshun, but it is quite expensive in the preparation of cooking wine.
