🥃 Discover Shede: China’s Most Awarded Baijiu, Now in Australia

A Journey of Time, Craft, and Cultural Elegance

Welcome to Shede, one of China’s most prestigious Baijiu brands—now available to Australian consumers through CG Liquor. Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned spirits enthusiast, Shede offers a gateway into a rich tradition of craftsmanship, storytelling, and sensory depth.


🇨🇳 What Is Baijiu?

Baijiu (pronounced bye-joe) is China’s national spirit. Distilled from grains like sorghum, wheat, and barley using solid-state fermentation, it’s bold, complex, and deeply cultural. Think of it as China’s answer to whisky or cognac—aged, expressive, and rooted in centuries of tradition.

Unlike Western spirits, Baijiu is fermented in earthen pits using natural microbial ecosystems. The result? A layered, umami-rich profile that evolves with every sip.


🏺 Why Shede?

Shede stands apart for its philosophy-driven approach. The brand name 舍得 means “to give is to gain”—a reflection of patience, sacrifice, and reverence for time.
