When we first launched this column in July, 2011, our initial idea was for family entertaining. During the process, we often get excited about a bottle of wine tasted or a cooked dish. As more and more cuisines launched, people got very interested. So we began to consider how to promote wines through this way?  Then our Wine & Dine column was launched!

Our cuisines are not cooked by professional cook.There is no beautiful decorations,of course we can’t compare it with those star chefs.And wine reviews are not written by wine professionals.All the work is done by Hai Jia(Pen name),she is a super fan of wine.The column shows her deep love towards food and wine.No wonder,readers love this column very much!

On its 200th edition,as a chief editor of winechina.com,I would like to make some introduction to our readers:

First,Where these wines come from
1,China Fine Wines Challenge; We’ve hold this wine challenge for seven years.Every year,there are many excellent wines stand out.We’re very confident about these awarded wines and so would like to let our readers know.

2,Five Colors Coastal New Wine Festival and Rose Wine Challenge; We’ve hold these two events for four years.By organizing these events,we discovered many Chinese special wines.Of course,they will be included in this column.

3,Spring Chengdu Food & Drinks Fair; During the yearly held Chengdu Food & Dinks Fair,we have hold “Chinese Fine Wine Promotion” Event for 5 years.Many wineries attend our events that we have to limit their sample numbers.It’s a way to find the good wines.We have good wine detectives.

4,gifts from friends.Friends in wine circle often send me wines as gifts during festivals or when their new wines launched.To taste and pair it with food,it’s a way to thank my friends.

Second,give feedback
We can learn a lot from wine tasting.We will study each wine,once we find some problems,we will feedback to wineries.

Third,specific proposition
Through this column,we give a comprehensive introduction of wineries,such as its brands,stories of winemakers,ecology vineyard, heathy lifestyle and so on.Also we know lots of food and wine lovers.So it’s great fun to share with our readers and guide them how to enjoy good wine and delicious food!
