Vinifera - Wine and China | Eric Corbeyran

The tribulations of a young Bordeaux heir.

Young Olivier Wiener could inherit a beautiful vineyard property in Bordeaux. But first, he must prove himself. Destination: China! Making wine is not enough, one must also know how to sell it. He knows nothing about China, yet it is a strategic place to gain experience in the trade. Surrounded by his new colleagues, the young man will discover another aspect of the winemaker profession and visit remote regions where Chinese vines grow. In China, production seems intensive and the wine has a very unique taste. After the culture shock, Olivier will gradually understand the paradox of this country that oscillates between ancient traditions and a desire for modernity. However, he is only at the beginning of his initiation. He has not yet mastered the etiquette for business meals and will make mistakes! But he is determined not to leave on a misunderstanding! Through perseverance, he may find what he came so far to seek: the experience he lacks to take over the family estate.
