China’s Wine's Past and Future
China claims it gave the world pasta, gunpowder, the umbrella and paper. Scholars here say the Chinese were golfing before the Scots and roaming the New World before Columbus.
Two years ago, archaeologists came across evidence that led to another claim: China may have been the first to make wine. Wine historians generally regard the Middle East as the region where wine originated.
Today, China is determined to join the ranks of France, Italy, the USA, Chile, Australia and other great winemaking nations.
