Catavino: Could AlbariƱo Substitute Hot Tea during a Traditional Chinese Meal?

    Very interesting article. It is very important to let us all be aware of the growing of Chinese wine market. For all of us who intend to export wines all over the world, is of an extreme importance that we have the notion that this is a very specific market, but with great potenciality. I totally agree with the idea that business in China must be made almost in a personal eye to eye negociation, that´s their culture. As for the kind of wines to get to this market, i also think that white wines like Albariño ou Alvarinho here in Portugal can be excelent proposals and pair very well with chinese cuisine, as far as i know. I wish good luck to Veiga Serantes. Maybe we can think of a joint-venture between Portugal and Spain...

    Many Asians do not know Spain is one of the biggest wine producers let alone it produces excellent wine with excellent price performance ratio. The Chinese prefer to deal with Chinese or at least Chinese speaking people but it is very difficult to find Chinese speaking people in Spain let alone Chinese speaking people in the wine business. On a lighter note, I like to pair chilled Albariño with stir fried prawns, with only garlic or with green asparagus.
