Guangzhou gift giving guides of the imported wine

Alcoholic beverage has long been an indispensable "guest" for the Chinese banquets; compare to the wide range of alcoholic drink and wine selection in modern society, the varieties of wine are relatively limited in the old days. In Guangzhou, China, the imported wine consumption increases gradually and overtakes the market of traditional white wine and beer. According to some reports, Canton's imported wine domestic sales breakthrough year by year. The sales of imported wine in Guangzhou have improved significantly compared to the past. What is the reason for this?

NO. 1. The Advantages of Importing Wine to Guangzhou.

Hong Kong is a free port and does not levy any Customs tariff on imports and exports. Because Guangzhou is very close to Hong Kong, it benefits from the advantage of importing duty free wines and gets a good price of imported alcoholic drink. It is much cheaper to import wine from Hong Kong than deal with the foreign wine distributors because of the expensive international freight cost. This is definitely a win-win situation.

NO. 2. The Wine Selection Culture in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou (Canton) is well known for its food and flowers but is never recognized as a city of wine drinking. However, Cantonese have the characteristic of enthusiastic and open-minded; easy to make friends and willing to try new things, which give them the willing spirit to try the unfamiliar imported wine. Unlike some professional wine-making cities, Guangzhou is not famous for producing wine, so this is another reason why Guangzhou people take the initiative to try more foreign wines.

If you become friends or business partners with a Cantonese, you are sure to be invited to enjoy the traditional Cantonese cuisine at least once. At this particular occasion, it would be nice to bring a bottle of wine as a gift to the host as it’s an extra bonus to the delicious dishes and additional joy to the guests.

What kind of wine is the best gift to send to people in Guangzhou?

General speaking, different groups of people have different gifting requirements. If you are to send corporate business gifts, we recommend you to try white/red wine or spirit/liquor as these kinds of alcoholic drinks are formal and decent gifts to the recipients. On the other hand, if it’s the gift for friends, sparkling wine will be a good surprise. The combination of flower aroma and fruity flavor upgrade the taste of the refreshing sparkling- we believe it will bring you or your gift recipients a brand-new wine tasting experience.
