Ningxia forges ahead with growing ambition

The wine producing region in Northwest China's Ningxia is expanding rapidly, despite a slowdown in the industry.

Data from China Alcoholic Drinks Association show that 64.7 percent of Chinese wineries recorded deficits in 2013.

Last year, the decline continued with the sector producing 116 million tons of wine, down by 1.5 percent compared to 2013, according to figures released by AskCIData, a leading institution of industry research.
