--File--Bottles of imported wine are for sale at a supermarket in Haikou city, south Chinas Hainan province, 24 June 2011. Foreign wine imports are growing rapidly in China, as the nation has imported a record of US$1.27 billion of bottled wine in 2011, up 94 percent year-on year. However, the value of imported loose-packed wine was down 20 percent from the previous year to US$120 million, according to the statistics released at the first China Worldwide Wine Summit Forum. The sale of imported bottled wine first surpassed imported loose-packed wine in 2009, Xinhua news agency quoted Lin Feng, vice president of H & J Consulting Company. The sale of imported bottled wine doubled that of loose-packed wine in two years, indicating that the imported wine market is evolving from low-end to high-end, Lin said during the forum held in Hefei, capital of Anhui Province.
