China winemakers seek to compete with the French vintners

(NYDailyNews) - While China's wine lovers continue their obsession with French vintages, a number of local labels are determined to lead the charge to convince them that Chinese winemakers can compete with the very best there is.
Dynasty Fine Wines is based near the city of Tianjin - about a 30-minute train ride from the capital Beijing - and has established a network of around 15 vineyards across the country, which grow not only native Chinese grape species such as Dragon's Eye but increasingly have turned to the more internationally recognized cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc varieties.
