红酒在中国 China Leaps into Top Spot for Red Wine

It looks like Chinese people won't be only drinking Bai Jiu during Spring Festival dinners. Wine may become a new item on the table. China has topped France and Italy to become the world's biggest consumer of red wine, according to a study by International Wine & Spirit Research commissioned by Vinexpo. The survey shows that Chinese consumers downed 1.8 billion bottles of red wine last year, contributing to a 136 percent rise in consumption since 2008. Why the massive surge in red wine drinking in China? Is this survey providing an answer?
