We’re seeing some interest in Chinese wines from abroad although it is still early days. Most often, people want to get the “top brands”, such as Grace Vineyard, Silver Heights or Helan Qing Xue, and those are produced in fairly small amounts. Waitrose in London recently introduced a Chinese wine for under 10 pounds and Dragon’s Hollow, a wine made with Ningxia grapes, is available in the US, with the entry below USD10 I believe.

Cheers, Jim

Of course, one always suspected that great wines could and do come from mainland China, there is as yet very little to no western availability. That’s what is so great about Robinson’s trip: perhaps this will spark some demand from western consumers for Chinese wine. It will also be great to learn about “Chinese style” – will Chinese wines reflect more of the Old or New World, or will they be something totally unique? I will follow this with great interest…
