I see it around. It's usually Merlot, but sometimes its a cabernet. How can it sell for so cheap? Like 105¥ a bottle! Is it fake? Or the dregs bcs the winemaker knows this customer will probably drink it with fish or some other monsterous act?
I used to buy Bordeaux in GZ about 5 years ago for 50-60 a bottle, now I generally pay about 120. I'm no connoisseur but it's drinkable plonk. French wine has a lot of competition now from the "new-world" so they need to flog off their mass produced "appellation controlle" stuff cheaply. Decent Bordeaux (Grand Cru, etc) is still expensive.
I just avoid any "Vin de pays" as that's normally what the French would use for cooking!
buy a bottle and try it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Australian wine is far superior to anthing Europe has to offer.
French wine surrenders at the first sign of trouble and Italian wine changes sides half way through a meal.
Ever tried Great Wall red wine??

Hahaha. So many downvotes Don't hate the player, hate the game! I know it could be better
I drink Shiraz from Argentina... 35 a bottle. My wife works in a hotel, so she gets the retail price...so I usually get a case. Decent enough!
Some years ago I read a news story that a very high percentage of French wine sold in China was fake. I would think it is actually better now as Chinese investors buys vinyards in France. Wine is still fucked up on the dinner table in China. No consideration to wine and food combinations, and a bottle is put on the table just for show and then everyone has a sip... difficult to get pissed this way.
