2月3日，今世缘发布投资者来访接待记录表。当中谈及2025年第四季度实际的开瓶情况，管理层介绍， 2025年江苏省白酒市场的表现可以看作行业的缩影。分价格带看，所有价位都承受了一定压力，但结构 上有差异：100元以内和800元以上的两端市场占比微增。对应到我们的产品，单开、淡雅保持了小幅增 长，而代表主流政商务消费的四开及以上产品则承压。春节期间，由于消费集中，各价格带的表现可能 会比Q4相对好一些。 至于公司当前的库存水平，管理层回应，在上一个销售考核年度（2024年12月至2025年11月），公司主 线产品的库存同比降低明显。但目前面临的核心问题是动销流速放缓，终端开瓶的绝对数同比是在下降 的。 当前库存压力主要存在于经销商环节。终端店不愿意多备货，导致经销商库存去化速度慢。什么时候能 进入低库存状态，关键取决于动销的改善情况。只要动销能稍微好转，库存就能较快消化。我们认为， 消费端可能难以回到过去的峰值，会下一个台阶，然后在这个新平台上逐步缓慢恢复。 （企业公告） (编辑：林辰)关键字： 今世缘 白酒 ...
