The first Bordeaux vineyard, a famous French winery Chateau Lafite, is beginning to grow grapes in China.
According to Decanter, “The renowned Pauillac estate has gone into partnership with CITIC, China’s largest state-owned investment company, to develop 25ha of vines in the peninsula of Penglai in Shandong province.
Shandong province is regarded as one of China’s most promising wine-growing regions. The Penglai peninsula, about 800km north of Shanghai, is on its easternmost tip.“
It is said that the interests in fine wine is steadily increasing every year, there in China. According to a study by the International Wine and Spirit Record in London, more than 1.1 billion bottles of wine should be drunk by by the Chinese, by 2011.
This looks to be quite a revolutionary move for wine.
