1. Market positioning of Martell high-end series: Why do they maintain their value better?
Martell As the Cognac family with the longest history, its high-end line products (such as Chuanshi and XXO) are qualitatively different from popular drinks (such as VSOP). The value preservation of high-end series mainly comes from the following three points:
- The scarcity of water of life: The high-end series is blended with a large amount of high-vintage eaux-de-vie from the Greater Champagne and Borderies regions. Some of the original wines have been aged for decades or even hundreds of years.
- State-of-the-art packaging design: For example, the unique arched bottle design of the Heirloom series is itself a work of art worth displaying.
-
Market liquidity (hard currency): In the high-end banquet and gift-giving market, the high-end model of Martell has always been a symbol of "face" and "value", which ensures its stable takeover rate in the second-hand market.
