And yet these two communities have found their destinies intertwined in the conquest of new markets, as Suzanne Mustacich shows in this provocative account of how China is reshaping the French wine business and how Bordeaux is making its mark on China. Thirsty Dragon lays bare the untold story of how an influx of Chinese money rescued France's most venerable wine region from economic collapse, and how the result was a series of misunderstandings and crises that threatened the delicate infrastructure of Bordeaux's insular wine trade. The Bordelais and the Chinese do business according to different and often incompatible sets of rules, and Mustacich uncovers the competing agendas and little-known actors who are transforming the economics and culture of Bordeaux, even as its wines are finding new markets--and ever higher prices--in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong, with Hong Kong and London traders playing a pivotal role. At once a tale of business skulduggery and fierce cultural clashes, adventure, and ambition, Thirsty Dragon offers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges facing the world's most famous and prestigious wines"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Wine industry $z Bordeaux (Aquitaine) $z Bordeaux (Aquitaine) 650 0 $a Wine and wine making $z Bordeaux (Aquitaine) $z Bordeaux (Aquitaine) 651 0 $a China $x Commerce $z France. 651 0 $a France $x Commerce $z China. 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / International / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a COOKING / Beverages / Wine & Spirits. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Trade & Tariffs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Wine and wine making. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01175907 650 7 $a Wine industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01175961 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a France $z Bordeaux (Aquitaine) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01758553 941 $a 4 952 $l JMPC081 $d 20230331010720.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020121.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20161223010517.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161006024434.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F957DFCCECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
