A Hong Kong Winery?

Interesting history of an idea in action...
Far from the rolling hills of Napa Valley, Ms. Tusar makes her wine on the third floor of a warehouse building in Ap Lei Chau, an industrial district on Hong Kong’s southern side. Ms. Tusar buys flash-frozen grapes from the world’s most fertile regions — Australia, France and America’s West Coast — and turns them into oak-aged wine off the urban streets of this densely populated city. Marketing her wine as Hong Kong’s first-ever vintage is a competitive advantage over imports, she said, because the wine “hasn’t had the heartbreak of being bounced all over the globe.”
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
