亚洲葡萄酒的未来与发展

Theme Description 主题简介

Following the development of the Asia wine consuming market, especially the sustainable growth of the Chinese wine market shares of imported wines, domestic Chinese wines have attracted growing attention. Shandong deserves its place at the top of the list of Chinese wine regions because of its long history of winemaking, and the figures of wine sales by both volume and value are the highest.

In this case, we will take Mystic Island Winery From Which was located in in Qiushan Valley, Penglai, Yantai in China as an example to explore the potential of local wineries.

The Sparkling Future – Prosecco DOC
闪亮未来 – Prosecco DOC

Theme Description 主题简介

As the global wine industry continues to evolve, there are two trends that are gaining increasing attention: the rise of Prosecco DOC Rosé and the growing demand for organic wines.

Prosecco DOC Rosé, a new sparkling wine category that was only recently approved by Italian authorities, has been generating excitement among wine enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. At the same time, consumers are increasingly seeking out wines that are made using organic farming practices, reflecting a broader trend towards sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Let’s join Debra Meiburg MW, the Founding Director of MWM Wine School, to delve into the sparkling future of the wine industry, focusing on the emergence of Prosecco DOC Rosé and the increasing popularity of organic wines.

随着全球葡萄酒行业不断发展,有两个趋势随之崛起:Prosecco DOC Rosé 和有机葡萄酒的兴起。

Prosecco DOC Rosé 是一种最近获得意大利当局认可的粉红气泡酒类别,并随即引起葡萄酒爱好者和行业专业人士的哄动。与此同时,消费者亦积极地寻找使用有机耕作方法酿造的葡萄酒,反映了可持续性和环境责任在市场中越来越备受关注。

让我们与 MWM Wine School的创办人 Debra Meiburg MW 一起深入探讨葡萄酒行业的闪亮未来,重点讨论 Prosecco DOC Rosé和有机葡萄酒的兴起。

Ningxia Wine Tasting
宁夏葡萄酒品鉴会

Theme Description 主题简介

Ningxia is home to a wide variety of grape varieties, including both international and domestic varieties. Some of the most common international varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Marselan, and Chardonnay, which are renowned for producing high-quality wines around the world. Thanks to the favorable climate and soil conditions in the region, these varieties have been successfully cultivated in Ningxia.

In addition to these international varieties, Ningxia also has some unique domestic grape varieties, such as Italian Reisling, Ningxia Rose Honey, and Cabernet Gernischt. These local varieties have been carefully selected and cultivated to adapt to the specific climate and soil characteristics of the region, resulting in the production of unique and complex wines with a distinctive flavor.

During French President Macron's recent visit to China, the wine served during his reception was a blend of Chinese and French grape varieties, symbolizing the friendly cooperation and development between the two countries. The wine was a new creation from the Xige Estate Winery, which blended Cabernet Sauvignon and Snake Dragon Pearl. Participants of the master class will have the opportunity to taste this unreleased wine, and stand at the same level as the leaders of both countries.

In addition, there are also Ningxia Merlot and Pinot Noir, both of which come from top wineries in Ningxia and have won numerous awards.

宁夏种植的葡萄品种非常多,既包括国际品种,也有国内品种。一些最常见的国际品种包括赤霞珠、梅洛、西拉、黑皮诺、马瑟兰和霞多丽等。这些品种以生产高品质的葡萄酒而闻名于世,由于该地区有利的气候和土壤条件,这些品种已在宁夏成功种植。

除了国际品种外,宁夏还有一些独特的国内葡萄品种,例如贵人香、宁夏玫瑰蜜和蛇龙珠等。这些当地品种经过精心挑选和培育,以适应该地区的特定气候和土壤特征,并酿造出宁夏风味独特而复杂的葡萄酒。

早前,法国总统马克龙访华期间,中法两国领导人品尝了中法品种混酿的新品葡萄酒,体现两国友好关系共同发展。该葡萄酒是宁夏西鸽酒庄以赤霞珠与蛇龙珠混酿的新杰作。大师班上,参与者将有机会品尝到这款美酒,站在两国领导人的高度共同品鉴。

此外,还有宁夏马瑟兰、黑皮诺,均来自宁夏顶级酒庄,屡获奖项。
