Up and coming wine regions of note, part 2- India and China

Not to say its pretty predictable, but most anyone semi educated in wine speak can rattle off the planet's most noted up-and-coming wine regions.  (Think South Africa, think Chile and Argentina, think New Zealand, think Sicily)  My best guess, its not so much that these regions are new but they are cranking out pretty radical wines with lesser known grape varieties.

Two unexpected destinations that are making their marks on the wine map:

India-  In the next two  years, the domestic wine market here is expected  to double in size, according to research.  Eased restrictions and lower export duties have helped the industry's significant growth.  Maybe similar in taste to Cabernet  fFranc, the red wine of India is Anarkali, made from Cabernet Sauvignon and local Bangalore Purple.  It shows a distinguished nose and palate.  The white wine is Chhabri, a blend of Chardonnay, Thompson Seedless (yes!), and 文章来源中国酒业新闻网Ugni Blanc.   Think fruity, not dry, chardonnay here, taste-wise.  Be sure to check the attached video on Indian wines.
 
China-  Jiu is the Chinese term for all things alcoholic, beer, wine, liuor or medicine.  Many (most) of China's wineries only produce traditional Chinese 'beverages' or brandy.  Vinifera grapes--those grown expressely for wine production--are still less than well known.  Too-early picking of the grapes is one of the problems plaguing the industry, in order to avoid rot, leading to wines that are overly sweet.  The other is simple economics.  As  a bottle can sell for no more than $3.00 per to remain competitive, Chinese $3.00 wines are not unlike American $3.00 wines. Wine Grapes: The main varieties for white wine are Chardonnay, Ugni Blanc, Semillion, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc.  The main varieties for red wine are Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir,  French Blue, Muscat Hamburg, and Carignan.
