Chinese wine will conquer the world in terms of volume & fine wine, a recent study suggests. According to the Future of Wine report, drawn up by London-based wine merchants Berry Bros & Rudd (BBR), China, which is already the world's sixth largest producer, will lead the world by 2058. The report, which predicts the state of world of wine in 50y, also says China will 'rival the best of Bordeaux'. 'I absolutely think China will be a fine wine player rivalling the best wines from France,' said Jasper Morris MW. 'It is entirely conceivable that, in such a vast country, there will be pockets of land with a terroir & micro-climate well suited to the production of top quality wines.' Based on the opinions of its 4 Masters of Wine, the report also spelled out some encouraging predictions for lesser-known wine countries & stark warnings for other, bigger producers.
