China has become the biggest export market for bordeaux wines outside the European Union as overall exports have collapsed due to the economic crisis and a strong euro put some wines beyond US and British buyers.
The sector has high hopes of the 2009 harvest, with young wines being presented to the international trade and journalists over the coming weeks.
"The situation is difficult for everybody," Alain Vironneau, chairman of the CIVB bordeaux wine body, said on Thursday.
