Trivia
China's Ningxia region is now booming in wine production, called the 'Bordeaux of China'. Great Wall wine labels depict the Great Wall, ranging widely from affordable hundreds of yen to prestige lines costing tens of thousands.
Eating tips & etiquette
In the past, Chinese people had the extreme habit of 'mixing red wine half-and-half with Sprite (Xue Bi) to make it sweet', but wine culture has matured recently, and more people enjoy the aroma straight in wine glasses.
