Winemakers on Greek island turn to Chinese market

Local winemakers on the Greek island of Lesvos are promoting their products as far away as China, seeking a breath of fresh air from the burden of the economic crisis that has hit their island.

Thousands of bottles of wine produced by local family wineries on Lesvos, have already been exported to Shanghai in recent years.

Xinhua reporters visited a winery located at Mytilene, the capital of Lesvos, to witness the production process and talk with owner Prodromos Paterellis who recently welcomed Shanghai's Zhang, who imports Greek wines to China.
