Wine-derwall: 35 different Chinese wine bottles

Posted on | October 18, 2011 | No Comments

A magazine asked me for a “wine” shot so I grabbed about three dozen Chinese bottles in my apartment, a.k.a. Chateau Double-B, arranged them on bookshelves, then clicked away. Needless to say from the photo quality above, the job required a professional. But I thought I’d share that one because if you are interested in Chinese wines you might have seen, tried or heard of some of the labels, such as Grace Vineyard, Bolongbao, Catai, Huadong, Xi Xia King, Yunnan Hong, Dragon Seal, Bodega Langes, Suntime and Champs D’or. There are also a few wines I’m not sure (if?) I’ll drink again, including that Yeli Spumante and Domaine Franco-Chinois Marsellan. As for the Taillan Malbec 2003, I do have full bottle, though I don’t imagine it was made with an eye to aging.
