Record exports for Bordeaux wine in 2011

Now, I know there's going to be a little whinging here... And I think it's deserved for the great growths (reality check: 5% of production!).

But, heck, *someone* is buying the stuff, even if it isn't you or me...

UK is number four market, US number 5.

China is number one by a huge margin for both value and volume.

I've mentioned before that China is responsible for the high price of Bordeaux. Glad when a set of sales numbers makes someone happy.
