China's Thirst for Wine is Rising

China's thirst for the grape has come a long way since the eighth-century poet Li Bai -- the "Immortal of Wine" -- penned "Drinking Alone by Moonlight." In his most celebrated work, Li Bai recalls enjoying "a cup of wine, under the flowering trees." These days, it would be a tough task to find a solitary spot in most crowded Chinese cities to sink a cooling glass of Chardonnay.

Indeed, you'd have no shortage of takers to share a tipple. As 21st century China has undergone the most rapid urbanization in history, the country's nouveau riche are taking to wine like never before.

Today, China is the world's ninth-largest wine market by volume and the sixth-largest wine producer. From a base of almost nothing a few years ago, the country boasts more than 400 commercially viable domestic wineries. Meanwhile, the value of wine imports to China is expected to reach US$870-million by 2017, up almost fivefold from US$184-million in 2007.

With such huge growth projected - the size of Asia's wine market, including China, is expected to increase by up to 20% per year for the next five years, compared to less than 1% in the rest of the world.
