Worry not about escalating trade disputes and such mundane things. It's party time at this wine bar, which is "disguised" as a cave dwelling in the arid hills of Yan'an, Shaanxi province.
The windows of the bar are pasted over by paper cuttings in the likeness of Alberto Fernandez, managing partner of wine import company Torres China.
He's having a party to launch his new wine at a time when some of his peers are sipping something considerably stronger to calm their nerves, which have been affected by the Chinese government's anti-dumping investigation into wine imports from the European Union.
