The value of the market has more than doubled over the last five years, and has become much more sophisticated. Not only are there more foreign wine imports available in restaurants and in the shops, but the number, variety and quality of domestic wines has also increased. This has served the market by providing local consumers with a greater array of cheaper products to try.

2. Key Facts

--The total market for wine grew in value by 58% between 1996 and 2001

--The Chinese government Ever since Republic of China founded in January 1st, 1912, China has had several regional and national governments. List
  • Chinese Soviet Republic
  • Provisional Government of the Republic of China
  • Reformed Government of the Republic of China
, in a drive to reduce alcohol related illness, has, since 1987, been promoting the idea that consumers drink less of the traditional grain-based spirits, and drink more beer and grape wine.

--One of the key attractions for wine, as opposed to other alcoholic drinks, especially amongst younger consumers, is that wine is seen as a more sophisticated drink.

--White wines have enjoyed such strong growth thanks to white wine being the chosen drink of many Chinese women, as opposed to beer, which tends to remain the main drink of Chinese men. Chinese women not only drink white wine straight, but also like mixing white wine with soft drinks, into white wine spritzers.

--Red wine is drunk almost exclusively by Chinese consumers as a table wine, to accompany a meal. As such, red wine sales have relied heavily on the growth in the market for eating out, especially eating out at western-style restaurants. Expensive bottles of red wine have become the latest "trophy drink" of the Chinese new rich, who like to drink such wines when out eating, in order to show they have both the money and the good taste to be wine drinkers.
