This week we have a special guest, Eric S, a wine sales executive in Shanghai, who gives us an overview of what's going on with wine in China. We cover things like: What types of wines are people drinking in China? Is wine consumption growing or has it hit a wall? What's the deal with the gifting culture, anti-corruption, and the crackdown (A.K.A, why the top growth Burgundy and Bordeaux need to pay attention to the UK, US, and Canada again)?  Has the wine bubble burst? Do Chinese drink domestic wine or imported wine most often? Is it any good? What are emerging areas? What's the deal with counterfeiting? What's the predicted future for China's wine market? A truly fascinating conversation -- we learned a ton and hope you do too!
