A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

A sparkler is haunting China: Karl Marx wine in Beijing

Better dead than red?

You’d think a wine named “Karl Marx” would be a red, but not so with this one I found haunting the shelves of Jinkelong supermarket in downtown Beijing during the Chinese New Year. The label says it is a semi-dry sparkling, though I have yet to confirm it with a taste test. It might be time to create a page for, uh, atypical labels found in China. See also:

Prepare for some glass struggle.
