First Container of Oregon Wine Arrives in China

Here's the entire article:

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The first container of premium Oregon pinot noir has arrived in Beijing, marking the opening of a new frontier for the state's cadre of vintners.

The 1,250 cases were supplied by Amity Vinyards, Henry Estate and King Estate.

Another container is to be shipped in January with wine from 14 producers.

The venture was born with a chance encounter by Doyle Hinman of Henry Estate winery with a wine-savy Chinese businessman in France.

Hinman says the implications for Oregon's wine industry are hung if they can get just a small fraction of China's 1.3 billion people to try Oregon wines.

All in all, it reads like a sweet little diddy on the Oregon wine trade and its attempts at expanding the empire.Everything except for the last sentence.

I have had the good fortune to work with a great number of Chinese and many occasions to eat with them as well. There is this strange undertone at the table when it comes to eating certain parts of animals or certain peppers. Apparently eating most things is either good for your strength or your member, which may be one in the same. Could this move into China do the same for Oregon wineries?
