Wines in China can be bought cheaply in some circumstances. But they usually are 'bottled..LOL!' in Jilin in a container that is made of plastic and looks like a mini veg oil container. That 'wine' is really crap!

The bottled wines here are too expensive. Great Wall is one of the better local wines, but it falls way short of the quality of an average French plonk back in Blighty.

However, it's not all bad news. You can buy a 1.5 litre bottle of champagne, complete with 'wired down' plastic top, for around 36 RMB. That champagne tastes good. It's bottled in Shandong. However, beware of 'apple champagne', also bottled in Shandong, at the same price as the grape champagne. The apple champagne is merely cider, and is therefore way overpriced here!

My advice, if you're a wine addict, China ain't for you. The only way you will be able to pay for your addiction is by working like a dog teaching rich kids WELL at a training center!

Diametrically different for lager addicts here, that's great!
