Europeans are soon to be introduced to the delights of one of China's most ancient wines, thanks to the Geographical Indications deal agreed with the EU a year ago.
The rice wine comes from Shaoxing city in the Yangtze Delta, which since ancient times has been known as "the land of fish and rice."
The city has more than 2,500 years of history, including the making and drinking of rice wine, which is popular throughout East Asia, but far less well-known in Europe.
