With all the well priced fine wines from OZ and other places and boycotts lifted on France the Chicoms may find market penetration rather tough. Who needs their lead tainted cr@p anyway?
To: DogBarkTree
Agreed. No one in his right mind buys anything from China if he can help it. Lead would be the least noxious of things the Chinese would add.

Made in Chine. ROFLOL, now what kind of tree sap are they going to add to wine, and how about that yellow river water they clean their equipment with. I’m not going to drink it!!

Who needs their lead tainted cr@p anyway?I think it was the Romans who found that putting their wine in lead lined amphoras improved its taste. Some people might go for it. Heck - there are people who sniff bicycle glue and gasoline fumes for highs. You never know...

I hear Chinese Leadonnay is a tad heavy and somewhat metallic.

I have a slogan for the Chinese wine purveyors:
"It'll put lead in your pencil!"

Lead is only one of many “heavy metals” one would expect in Chinese wine.

Ah yes ~ a strong fruity foundation with notes of elderberry, licorice, lead pipe, benzene and bromated methylene.

most laughable indeed. I have enough trouble going to California or Australia. They may attempt wine wine, but as anybody who has drank Nikka or other Japanese whiskeys can attest, its all about terroir (the land).
Adding in, as other have presented, that its the Chinese anyway. So it will sound good, patriotic Chinese will buy it, but it will still taste like paint thinner.
My coworkers husband did an ad for Great Wall, the #1 wine in China. When I asked him what he thought of it, he said “swill”.

Château Leadmine
Or
Château Melamine-Rothschild
?
Personally, I’d just as soon drink antifreeze and cut out the chinese profiteers.

You do realize that when the muslims complete their take-over of france every vine will be uprooted and burned in the name of sharia law, don't you?

Now THAT’s funny! :)
And I’m sorry, I’m not drinking a wine called “Xinjiang.” There’s nothing even remotely romantic or intoxicating about that sound. At all. Trivial and superficial? Absolutely.
To: DogBarkTree
With or without Ethylene Glycol.

And Chinese wine will be the flamable liquid that starts the fire.

I don’t know about that. If the Chinese come up with some good wine, I’ll be mighty happy to share it with them.
