China's wine industry ripens as local thirst grows

Nov 7, 2011

(Reuters) - Even as Chinese consumers further develop their taste for fine French wines, producers in China itself are upping their game with wines that have made great strides over the last decade, said wine expert Jancis Robinson. Chinese demand for imported wine remains massive, but the country is now also among the top five growers of grapevines in the world. "Every time I get to China, I try and get together the best wines that are being made. When I first went into that exercise, I think it was in 2002, it wasn't very inspiring at all," Robinson, a Master of Wine, told Reuters Television on the sidelines of an international wine conference in Hong Kong.
