China’s changing palette
Pampered grapes and expensive price tags in China’s growing wine market.

Does anyone at Reuters know the difference between PALATE and PALETTE? Or have a billion Chinese suddenly taken an interest in easel painting?
Ha ha ha! Palate…palette!! What a typo!!! LMAO!!!
Given the fine materials they have, will they brew it or blow it ? They gave me a free sample few years ago and my throat was inflamed with the first sip.
A changing palette? Unlikely.China is still as red as it will ever be.
