Young Chinese wine masters showing their appreciation

Chinese university students are emerging to become the potential grounders of the wine industry as they are already showcasing their professionalism and ardor in the beverage.

Tsinghua University was awarded as the winner by the jury for performing better in the tasting round after tying with the second-place team in terms of the aggregate score in this year's China qualification of the Left Bank Bordeaux Cup, a wine contest for college students across the world organized by the Commanderie du Bontemps, in Beijing on Monday.

Eleven teams from universities around China sat for the test which concluded two rounds on Monday: a theoretical test consisting of ten multiple-choice questions about Bordeaux's history and culture and then a blind wine-tasting test where participants have to identify the vintage, the name of the Chateau and the appellation of the wine within a limited time.
