For years, China's plum wine industry has navigated without specific industry standards, relying solely on the broader national food standards. These general guidelines, while comprehensive, have fallen short in addressing the unique aspects of plum wine production. This gap in the regulatory framework is now being addressed.
On August 24 2023, a significant milestone was achieved with the successful convening of the "Plum Wine Industry Standards Drafting Meeting" in Chongqing. This meeting marks a pivotal step towards establishing dedicated standards for plum wine in China. The event was hosted by the National Liquor Standardization Technical Committee. The primary focus of the meeting was to report on the progress of the research for the industry standard titled "Fruit Wine Part 4: Plum Wine" and to discuss the draft of these new standards.
The Chief Winemaker of SCY Winery Mrs. Wei Attended
SCY Winery, as one of the key contributors in setting these industry standards for plum wine, played a vital role in this discussion. Mrs Wei, the Chief Winemaker of SCY Winery, actively participated in the meeting, bringing invaluable insights and expertise to the table. This involvement is a testament to SCY Winery's commitment to not only upholding but also shaping the future of plum wine production in China.
The move to establish specific industry standards for plum wine is a momentous occasion for the sector. It promises to bring about a new era of quality, consistency, and professionalism in the production of this traditional beverage.
As SCY Winery has already been instrumental in drafting the industry standards for both lychee and plum wines in China, their enthusiasm in contributing to the formalization and advancement of these standards is both evident and commendable. This initiative is a significant step forward in the evolution of China's fruit wine industry, paving the way for enhanced quality and global competitiveness.
