Grape Wall of China will soon begin including contributions from ten people involved in the Greater China wine scene as academics, winemakers, distributors, educators or consumers. To kick things off, I will post a profile each day. (For more China wine info, join the Grape Wall of China group on Facebook and/or sign up for my free e-newsletter by emailing beijingboyce@yahoo.com with “sign me up” in the subject line.)

Today’s profile: Peter Wright
Main focus: Shanghai wine scene

“Peter Wright – aka ‘Winopete’ – is one of the most tightwad tipplers in town and spends more time than he should hunting for bargain booze, but is always partial to a good drop, good pub grub and a comfortable place for a chinwag. He writes a popular newsletter on Shanghai’s nightlife scene.”

Grape Wall has no sponsors of advertisers: if you find the content and projects like World Marselan Day worthwhile, please help cover the costs via PayPal, WeChat or Alipay.
