Viticulture

Xinjiang is known for a burgeoning wine industry, especially around a city called Turpan on the Northern Silk Road between Ürümqi, where I am now, and Jiayuguan, the “western edge of Chinese civilization” I visited a few months ago.
I’ve had some pretty horrendous Chinese wine over the years — I’m looking at you, Shaanxi province — but quite liked these bottles from Turpan.
