We are delighted to share that our GUOLIFANG Yuzu Flavor Liqueur (果立方柚子味) has been honoured with the Grand Prize (大賞) at the 2026 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards (대한민국 주류대상). This recognition, conferred by one of South Korea’s most authoritative spirits evaluation bodies, marks a significant milestone for our brand’s journey in international markets and reaffirms the exceptional quality and consumer appeal of the GUOLIFANG product line.
About the 2026 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards
The Korea Wine & Spirits Awards (대한민국 주류대상) is an annual competition that evaluates wines, spirits, and liqueurs submitted from both domestic and international producers. Judged by a panel of industry professionals, sommeliers, and beverage specialists, the competition is widely regarded as a key benchmark for quality within the Korean market. The Awards — denoted by the Chinese character 大賞 — represents the highest distinction awarded to a product that demonstrates outstanding character, sensory quality, and commercial merit.

GUOLIFANG Yuzu Flavor Liqueur: Craftsmanship in Every Bottle
The GUOLIFANG Yuzu Flavor Liqueur is a thoughtfully crafted expression that blends vodka distillate with the juice of fresh yuzu citrus, yielding a liqueur of vibrant aromatics, clean acidity, and a refreshingly smooth finish. Bottled at 15% ABV, it strikes an approachable balance between intensity and elegance — a profile that clearly resonated with the Korean jury’s discerning palate.
Yuzu, a citrus fruit native to East Asia, is celebrated in Korean culinary and beverage culture for its bright, complex fragrance — combining notes of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin. By anchoring our product around this beloved ingredient, GUOLIFANG bridges Chinese production excellence with flavour preferences deeply familiar to Korean consumers.

What This Award Means for Our Brand
Competing in an international market as discerning as South Korea is no small undertaking. Korean consumers are sophisticated, well-travelled, and highly attuned to quality — particularly when it comes to beverages. Receiving the Award from a Korean jury is therefore a powerful endorsement of GUOLIFANG’s cross-cultural appeal and the depth of craftsmanship behind our liqueur production.
This recognition also strengthens our position in ongoing conversations with retail and distribution partners across the Asia-Pacific region. An independently awarded distinction provides our trade partners and end consumers with a credible, third-party validation of the product’s excellence — one that carries meaningful weight in purchasing decisions.
