China Expat




Wine distributors

I've been having a hard time finding good international quality wines out in Chengdu and I've decided that the easiest way about this is to get cases shipped out to me from domestic distributors. The problem? I have no idea how to do that. Are there places in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen etc that will ship around the country? I'd love some Australian or South African varieties, but hey, I'm in Sichuan, beggars can't be choosers right.

Reds or whites?

Do you care what kind (white, red)? As you said beggars can't be choosers. Xinjiang and Yunnan have good wines, but you're right, they don't stack up with the international brands.

Thanks mate

Wisedragon,

Thanks for the help, I'll look into them.



You can contact ASC Fine

You can contact ASC Fine Wines here: www.asc-wines.com
They will ship anywhere in China and have an excellent selection of imported wines, including Aussie and South African wines. There is a full wine list on their site, so stock up with a copy of Hugh Johnsons pocket wine guide and enjoy choosing...Don St. Pierre, their owner, is a good mate of mine incidentally, and Dezan Shira & Associates handle their national accounting work. I think you'll need to order a minimum of a case (12 bottles), but they will permit a mixed assortment. My selection ? Promis - one of their Tuscan wines - is superb.

1982 Chateau Lafite Rothchilds

Hi there,
I am new to this post, I have three bottles of 1982 Chateau Lafite that I am looking to sell and know that China is an excellent market for Lafite. This is the ultimate Lafite ever produced and there are few samples out there. Is there a distributor anyone can recommend in China that I can contact?

I also have two bottles of 1970 Lafite and two bottles of 1976 Lafite.

Thanks!



Hey, I understand your

Hey, I understand your problem, but why don't you try some good Romanian wine? I recommend you some Busuioaca de Bohotin or some Cotnari wine. I'm sure you will thank me!
