Time-Honored BrandGuangdetai · Guangdong · Founded 1890
Guangdetai, a time-honored liquor brand from Guangdong, has been crafting traditional rice wine since 1890. With a legacy of Lingnan brewing techniques and a commitment to quality, it embodies the essence of Chinese liquor culture and the nostalgia of overseas Chinese.
Brand Story
Guangdetai, originating from Guangdong, traces its roots back to the late Qing Dynasty. The Chen family, founders of the brand, operated a small brewing workshop, producing rice wine through traditional methods that quickly won the hearts of locals. In 1890 (the 16th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign), the family officially established the Guangdetai Winery. Using high-quality rice and ancient fermentation techniques, they crafted a mellow and sweet rice wine that soon gained fame across the Lingnan region. Through generations, the winery has adhered to handcrafted brewing, ensuring exceptional quality. Its products not only thrived locally but also reached Southeast Asia, becoming a taste of home for overseas Chinese. Guangdetai is more than a liquor; it is a part of Lingnan culture, carrying the nostalgia and memories of expatriates. However, due to historical changes, some details of its early records have been lost, and the founding year awaits official verification. Despite this, Guangdetai remains a respected name in Guangdong's liquor market, known for its unique brewing skills and cultural depth.
