China Through a Glass of Wine

Get ready for the world's first no-holds-barred journey through China's emerging wine culture. Following the tradition of great traveling sommeliers, Noel Shu guides us through the misty vineyards and crowded wineries of China. A delicate interplay unfolds: The PRC struggles with wine's infamous bourgeois reputation (read-million dollar wine collections seized anti-corruption crackdowns) even as the blossoming middle class gravitate toward all things Western. Cross-cultural examination, ethnography, travel book, and tasting guide, one thing is for certain, once you've seen China "through a glass of wine," you'll never see it the same again
