I blogged that I had bought another Greater China Wine Book last week and I had a chance to flick through it now. I was quite surprised to find that our great motherland had 3 wines featured in it, the same as some other countries with a much more illustrious reputation such as South Africa (whose Vin de Constance I would agree is worthy of mention in any book) and even 1 more entry than Hungary!
One of these wines is a Chinese ice wine, but the one I had previous blogged about, and not even in a similar geographic location either. This is also made from Vidal, like the Changyu ice wine, but instead of being from Liaoning, this wine hails from Changbai Mountain of Jilin Province. The author felt that the quality of this wine is no less than those from Germany or Canada. Since I would not speak of German (and Austrian) Eisweins in the same breath as Canadian ones, this remark does somewhat colour my assessment of the wine.
