On the list of Top 100 most valuable luxury brands, Sun Valley Icewine is the only Chinese domestic luxury company as a top ten innovative luxury brand. There was media talk around Chinese liquor brand "China Maotai" as a possible selection, but the consideration that the taste of Chinese liquor is not widely accepted by consumers abroad was a deciding factor, leading to Sun Valley Icewine instead.
