Expats try sparkling wine in Yantai

"Fruit wines, incredible. I mean the production facility, it's massive. I didn't even imagine it would be as big as it is. And it's great," said Kenneth Cari from the United States after tasting a cup of fruit wine and visiting its production line and advanced warehousing facilities.
