Sounds like a "google translate" of heaven knows what.

I've read some other Chinese wine labels that made me laugh. One proclaimed that 'Drinking this wine constantly will give you excellent health and strength.' Unfortunately it didn't taste good enough to give the recommendation a serious go.

That is great. On a trip to China I bought some tea for my wife with a container note that read, "Good for people and foreigners as well".

Back before they got marketing savvy, I bought a can of Chinese bean sauce that was produced in the PRC, which at that time we were still calling "Red China". The producer was the China National Native Produce and Animal By-product Import and Export Corporation.

Among the ingredients listed was "monosodium grutamate". Yes, with a 'r'.
