The statistics showed that imported bottled wines of 2006 increased 97.7% comparing with that of 2005. And the dramatical increase trend appeared again in 2007. The imports of bottled wine from seven countries including France, Australia, Italy, Spain, Chile, America and German were 39800 tons, nearly a double comparing with that of 2006 (20200 tons).
