China'
first wine cellar opens in Changli county
The
Moutai wine cellar, China's first deep storage wine facility, opened in Changli
county, Hebei province on Aug 12, 2013. Built over the course of seven years by
the Moutai Wine Company, the wine cellar ushers in a new form of wine-storage
in China. It is the only constant temperature natural wine cellar in the
country, representing elements of Moutai wine and a traditional wine cellar.
Changli
county is known as "the home of the Chinese wine grape" and also
"China's dry red wine city." The county sits at 39 degrees north
latitude, the same as Bordeaux in France, a region recognized as one of the
best areas in the world for growing grapes.
In
July 2002, through investments from the Kwei Chou Moutai Group, the Changli
Moutai Wine Co, was formed and began making wine with techniques imported from
Bordeaux. Currently, the company's annual wine production has exceeded over
10,000 tons, with fixed assets extending beyond the hundred million yuan mark.
