China's Answer to Bordeaux

CIZHONG, YUNNAN, CHINA - 2014/10/09: A sign selling wine in Cizhong, a small hamlet once inhabited by early French missionaries, along the Mekong River in northern Yunnan, China. The missionaries arrived in Cizhong in 1910 following the Tibetan Rebellion, a spate of attacks on foreign missionaries by Tibetan Buddhist lamas. They planted Rose Honey, a grape brought to Yunnan to make altar wine, shortly before the Great French Wine Blight forced the grapes extinction in Europe. A recent government initiative has dramatically increased the production of grape growing in Cizhong, and other parts of northern Yunnan, hoping it may become China's answer to Bordeaux.
