Private winery draws investors' strong interest

For a modest investment, Chinese wine buffs see chance to run their own vineyard

Peng Xiaoxia cannot wait to invite her friends to wander around her vineyard and have a party at a nearby European-style chateau, where wine will be served from bottles bearing her picture and greetings.

"As a wine lover, I think wine should be consumed in a European way - after roaming around a vineyard, picking the grapes if you like, and then sharing a glass or two with family and friends in a chateau," she says.
