But it will still be the best selling wine and China.

Or even in China for that matter.

Chinese love Bordeaux style wines.

Would be funny if Yao Ming's winery specialized in petite syrah.

And the bottle falls apart all the time.

hey subby, fark you.

Will the bottles chip easily? Will the wine spoil earlier than expected?

Them chinee are pretty funny trying to act all white

Yao was no Yi

TheShavingofOccam123: I bet at wine tastings all you'll ever hear about his wine is "it has no lregs".

Interesting bottle design, I'll give him that.

My bottle had a broken punt.

exvaxman: In defense of him, apparently the US doctors many times said "Rest UP and get well" and the Chinese Government sports system said "You must play in China during the off season in the US".

Also people just aren't really meant to be 7'6. Everything I've read about him made it seem like he was a really good guy whose body just couldn't handle the beating.

I didn't have alot of faith that Yao Ming would dominate in the NBA. In actuality, he exceeded my expectations.

"Tiger Wine" disgusting. Just saw this documentary a few months ago. Gross.

For about five minutes there he was farking amazing to watch. You could tell he'd spent loads of time in gyms imitating Hakeem and Kareem and god knows who else.

bdub77: My father in law owns a winery. He had some Chinese investors/buyers come over to sample his wine. They asked for Coke. He didn't understand. They explained, in China they apparently pour Coke into their wine.

So yeah it probably won't farking matter if it's good or bad, if it's being consumed by the Chinese.

/they apparently liked his wine anyway
//CSB

Germans do that as well.

But the Germans laugh at us for putting coke in our liquors. Catch 22?

I forget the exact number, but didn't Yao play like the equivolant of a 37 year old player's career due to overseas or something?

Yao Chinese
He make joke
He pee in wine aged in oak

The real joke is on the buyers of this wine; the projected retail (in China) is over $200 US. The punchline? The grapes are sourced from mid-tier Napa vineyards, the same kind of place that Mondavi and Sterling use for their Napa-appellation wines.

So, next time you open a bottle of Mondavi Napa cab, say to yourself, "this could have been $200 in Beijing."

Everything about wine in China is crazy. Empty bottles of Lafite go for thousands of dollars there so people can copy the bottles and then fill it with crappy wine and sell it for $50,000.

sorry so late.

I love china.... my office mates are dancing right now instead of working.-

mmm yes...at first, the body seems formidable and robust, but it never holds up.

Hmmm... impressive to look at, cheap to acquire, and lasted 1/10th the duration of a domestic product?

//gotta put their used antifreeze in something.

merkey88: But the Germans laugh at us for putting coke in our liquors.

Where does this come from? Whiskey cola or rum and coke is not uncommon in Germanistan...

I'm guessing the sub doesn't/didn't actually follow basketball.

But for the injuries, Yao was pretty damn good.
