Wine in China

Wine is the nectar of the gods - can I just say that ? Unfortunately, good wine is not that easy to come by in China - local wine is, um, a challenge (and hard to find) and foreign wine quite expensive. The market is dominated by the Australians on the low end and French on the high end. There are essentially no small American producers that hopefully will eventually drive the market once tastes develop.

But, it's interesting to see the wine culture develop, with young women going out to high-class places for a glass of Merlot or Cabernet; this can only be a good thing on many levels.
