The color red signals good fortune in a communist country? Okey-dokey then.

If the wine is made in China, it probably is contaminated with 15 undesirable chemicals.

As an aside, could someone explain why anyone would drink Chardonnay? It has no taste.

Sorry, I didn’t read the linked story. Are they talking total bottles, or per capita? I’d be very surprised if the Chinese drink the most per capita.

China has surpassed France and Italy to become the biggest consumer of red wine in the world.

Not very interesting. China is huge.

Interesting would be that China's per capita red wine consumption has exceeded that of France and Italy.

Hong Kong eliminated the tax on wine and beer and is now the largest importer of wine in the world. There’s an economic lesson in there.

Well, good for the Chinese. Something we can enjoy and relate to.
