(MENAFN) According to figures released on Monday, the value of US wine exports to China has increased by 10 percent last year.
The Wine Institute said the export value to China jumped to over 210 million US dollars in 2017 driven by China's economic growth.
According to trade director for China and Pacific Rim of the Wine Institute, China is not only the largest country in the world in terms of population, but also has a rapidly growing middle class which travels abroad and adopts Western tastes and lifestyle preferences.
He said: "Consumption of imported wine has increased 2.5 times in the last five years on the Chinese mainland; we expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future."
