Majuang is Korea's first major wine product. It is made by the Doosan Business Group (Doosan Baekwha). In 1977 Majuang wine began production in Korea; until 1987 it was the most commonly available type of wine, accounting for around 90% of sales. After that time, foreign wines began to be imported and Majuang's share of the market dropped to around 15%. Majuang wines are not 100% Korean; they contain wines imported from Europe and Chile mixed with the local product. There are a number of types being made, both red and white, and the number and types of varieties change with time.
Majuang is produced at the Gyeongsan Winery, in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
