The Chinese and wine

At Vinexpo, I was pleasantly surprised to see as many women as men attending the tasting held by the Saint-Emilion Grands Crus Classés. In France it took almost 2,000 years for women to come to wine (sometimes having to overturn disapproval from men).
In Hong Kong, wine is new. It isn’t made into something sacred nor weighed down by a cultural straightjacket. The Chinese approach wine without hang-ups, naturally and spontaneously. This is so refreshing!
We must be careful not to convince them otherwise by educating them about wine as if they were learning some sort of divine knowledge. Dragons breathe fire!
Anyway, they emptied 14 of my bottles in two hours!
They are enthusiastic, thirsty (for knowledge) … and there are a lot of them around!
