Ice wine causes a stir in Shenyang
english.cctv.com by 2010-02-02   

A world record bottle of wine has caused a stir at a food festival, in northeastern China's of Shenyang. But the drop is different in more ways than one.

An average wine bottle can be held with just one hand, not this one. It needs two adults with open arms to reach around it.

The bottle contains nearly 1850-liters of wine, four times the previous world record holder, which contains 490-liters.

But this wine is even more unconventional. It's ice wine. A specialty of China's northeast regions.

Yu Jiangshen, ice wine senior engineer, said, "Ice wine needs the grapes to be fully mature, so than the level of the sugar contained in the fruit is enough to make the ice wine. Then the grapes are condensed at a temperature less than 7 degrees Celsius below zero. Then ice wine can be made."

Shenyang is the provincial capital of Liaoning. Conditions there provide the ideal soil and temperature for the grapes to be made into ice wine.
