(WSJ) - Chinese vineyards are slowly gaining the respect of the wine world. Long written off as plonk, wines from China garnered 19 medals at the latest Decanter World Wine Awards in London, up from just 11 last year. Chateau Reifeng-Auzias, located in Shandong, was given a gold medal for its 2010 Cabernet, the only Chinese wine maker to top its category. It also won a silver medal for its 2010 Syrah.
