Wine made in . . . China? Until recently, for most people, at best,
it didn’t exist. Or at worst, as some wine writers complained in
their tasting notes, it was reminiscent of “ash tray, coffee
grounds, and urinal crust.” Then a 2009 Chinese red won Best
Bordeaux Blend. Could China take over the wine world as well?
Cynthia Howson and Pierre Li provide a knowledgeable and exuberant
exploration of how Chinese wine went from being ignored and
ridiculed to earning gold medals and praise by famous critics in
less than a decade. They take the reader along on their adventure
on the China wine trail to meet the farmers, entrepreneurs, and
teachers who are shaping this new industry. They travel to Chinese
wine tourism hotspots, talk to winemakers who struggle to find good
wine grapes, and visit lush mountaintops and arid deserts to see
what French multinational corporations have in common with small
Chinese farmers. Then, they visit a Chinese wine school to meet
professors and their students eager to join the wine workforce.
They reveal where they bought the best local wines as they give
travelers new insights on China and ideas for Chinese wine tourism.
Readers interested in current affairs, economic development, and
business in China will find that wine offers a clear lens for
understanding the larger issues facing the country.
