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!"

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.

Six months ago I didn't have a problem buying Chinese made products. But with all the news lately about tainted products & food, I wouldn't even buy a toaster oven made in China (fortunately, there are many good used appliances in thrift stores that were made in America!). I recently noticed that my favorite "Filletes de Salmon" from Walmart are a Chinese product, so I won't be buying those anymore, either. :-(
I think the Chinese economy is going to take a big hit after the Olympics are over. More & more people are going to refuse to buy anything made in China, if for no other reason than the safety of their own health

Unless “someone” runs all other wineries out of business, I don’t foresee China wine going anywhere but down the tubes.
You would have to be nuts or suicidal to buy anything from China anyway.

Made in China...wine that may soon rival the best of BordeauxWill they poison us with their additives.
I will never buy a wine 'made in China' no matter how good tasting it is supposed to be or how much cheaper.

Just a follow up fyi, I own a retail store. In the summer we carry a wider selection of children’s items and toys. This year about half of the items we wanted to order online and in catalogs were not available because they were all recalled. Take one guess why. Yep, Made in China with LEAD BASED PAINT!
