China Beijing, sparkling wine ready to break through

The sparkling wine category in China is relatively small

In China, sparkling wine is still very much regarded as a drink for celebrations and special occasions.

Top sparkling wine’s dosage stands at 45g/l, and it has been performing much better than the Brut range, in the knowledge that Chinese drinkers in general prefer a higher level of sweetness.

Chinese drinkers, whether they are drinking baijiu (a grain-based liquor), beer or wine, pay more attention to mouthfeel rather than aromas. They smell it, take a sip, and whether they want to swallow it or spit it out, that’s the most important thing.*
