Can any of our great Chinese members give some rough idea of what Wines are for sale in China and what sort of price they sell for (retail and wholesale if possible).

I would be interested since I have been seeing a lot of BUY Leads from China who want "top quality US/French/Australian wine for US$2.00.... I assume that is per bottle and not including any shipping cost etc.

I am wondering because that price is absurd for a top quality wine from ANY country...... If top quality wine is selling in China for under US$5.00 per bottle retail I want to know about it so I can buy some!

Would appreciate any info available.

In China, we have brand named local wine like "Zhangyu", "Great Wall", "Tonghua", and “Dynasty etc. I remember when I was a kid, only during the Spring Festival, my mom would buy wine for our family. It was about RMB2.00 per bottle at that time. Nowadays, drinking wine is very popular, and people can afford it not only just for holiday celebrations, but also for almost every time dine out or home gathering.
