Q

Shandong - This is the largest producing region and is considered a Bordeaux-like area, having a similar latitude and maritime influence. This is where Rothschild’s Long Dai is located.
Ningxia - The other Bordeaux-like region. Ningxia has its take on the 1855 Classification with 35 local producers named. This high-elevation region is on the edge of the Gobi desert.
Hebei - This area surrounds Beijing and is home to many of China’s mass wine producers.
Xinjiang - Bordering Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan, this region is hot and dry. High-quality wine could be produced in the future, but transport issues due to the remote location force producers to focus on bulk wine.
Yunnan - Yunnan borders Laos and Myanmar. The top vineyard sites are on Shangri-La Mountain. This is where Moët Hennessy has invested.

Also worth noting, China produces a lot of high-quality dessert wine. The two best areas are Tianjin, for Black Muscat, and Liaoning, for Vidal Ice wine.
