The wines served to world and domestic leaders at a dinner during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing last November came from a producer in Zhangjiakou.
"We have created many records in the wine history of China because of the excellent geographic and weather conditions in Zhangjiakou," said Jia Liangyu, a winemaker at the Chateau SunGod GreatWall, the maker that supplied the wines that were served at the APEC event.
