Q: What is the best tasting brand of Chinese wine?
I personally can't stand Great Wall wine and find it disgusting. Changyu is slightly better but pretty much all the cheap wines are awful. Having said that though, it's wrong to diss all Chinese wine. A wine produced in Ningxia province recently won a prestigious international prize and many wineries there are co-operating with wine ventures abroad. There's a blog about it on The Beijinger. See link below.
the quality and taste of normal wine here is very low, tough to a quite high price. same applies to a lot of imported wine, which simply sells well because its from abroad and supposed to be better...
back home u can get a decent bottle of wine for 3-4 euro (good taste and no headaches). u would need to spend at least 200-300 kuai in order to get a similar quality here.
Yep...just go to Metro and get a bottle of Aussie wine for 60-70 
Most Chinese wines are made from South African stock. (All China needs to do is add water and call it wine.)
The combination of the stock fermenting for months in containers on docks, cargo ships, transit, etc... and the Chinese quality of water makes for some really horrible wines.
As far as the top label, truly domestic wines? I wouldn't bother because the local wine is either inferior quality when compared to the wine that is exported or it is pirated fake wine. Either way, drinking any wine bought within the borders of China is a risky business at the very least.
Never buy Chinese wine. I wouldn't want it if they gave it away. Lots of Australian wine in China which is great.
Chinese wine? ............................ NOOOO!
Sorry, but no, they are decades away (at best) from a good wine, even the 'best' they have is plain and simple, one taste across the entire palate. Homemade wine is usually better.
Best wines in the world at the moment are Australian, (get a good Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon) I like the McGuigan wines but my tastes are quite simple. Chilean wines are good too. Of course I only mention red wines, for Sparkling white wines, then Spanish Cava or the newish British wines are very good although the latter are WAY over priced aiming at the top end of the market.
Avoid French wines, while some (mainly the vintages) do have the quality they are incredibly overpriced and for day to day drinking Australia wins hands down.
The only good wines are the one's that are like 10 kuai for a huge bottle. And the only reason they're good is because they're absolutelly terrible and it's hilarious trying to drink more than you're friend can. The headaches the next dare are no fun though...
