British supermarket Tesco is offering Chinese wine to customers for the first time.

 

英国乐购超市首次向顾客供应中国红酒。
 

 

The firm, which is the third largest retailer¹ in the world, has started selling an impressive Chinese produced Cabernet Sauvignon that it believes could finally open the doors in Britain to this fast emerging wine-making nation.

 

The new wine, Chateau² Changyu Moser XV Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, is a cross between a classic Bordeaux and a rich fruity Australian wine, and is available for less than £10.

 

Tesco's Master of Wine James Davis believes China is becoming a very powerful player in the wine world and this launch could help give it its first major push in the UK.

 

He said:

 

"China is one of the world's biggest consumers of wine, drinking almost two billion bottles of red wine each year.

 

"And now they are one of the largest wine producing countries in the world, ahead of the more traditional regions of Chile and New Zealand.

 

"Produced in a warm and dry climate, the Chateau Changyu Moser XV Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, is a dark ruby³ red.

 

"The smooth, full bodied wine is a combination of a classic Bordeaux style with the riper, richer fruit flavours which are characteristic of Australian wines.

 

"At a great introductory offer of £7, this wine offers customers an opportunity to discover a unique, but quality wine at an affordable⁴ price.
