From 45% to 82% Bottle-Open Rate: How a Cap Code Cleared Up the Murky Math of Liquor Makers' Marketing Spend
Traditional liquor makers verify banquet subsidies with photos, snapping empty bottles, table counts, and banners in one go, so the real bottle-open ratio sits far below what the report figures claim. This article breaks down how a "cap code" (a code on the bottle cap) swaps the verification basis from photos to actual bottle opening — subsidy follows the opened bottle, not the filed claim. Named data from Wuliangye, Jiugui, Tanjiu, and Yanghe lines up one by one, and one undisclosed maker pushed its banquet bottle-open rate from 45% to 82%. Once the accounts are settled, as who wins and who chafes recalculates; and two buckets of cold water — the scan rate and the red-packet size — still have to be balanced.

100 Distilleries Expected by Year-End: Why Is Zunyi Pushing "Six-Code Integration"?
Zunyi is building a region-level product certification and coding system, led by the Zunyi Product Certification Alliance, with technical support from China Classification Society Quality Certification and the Municipal Product Quality Inspection Institute. Over 100 distilleries are expected to join by year-end. The sixth code isn't just another label—it bundles certification, quality inspection, and brand culture into one scan entry, upgrading the proposition from "proving it's real" to "proving it's worth buying." But scan-based verification is only the first step. The true value of one-item-one-code lies in post-scan operations: consumers get tangible benefits, channels get incentives, brands get data, and members are retained. Zunyi built the trust foundation; how high the building rises depends on each distillery's operational capability.
