Chinese Wine and politics at the Caledonian Club, Friday 14 June, 12.30p.m. for 1 p.m. £150

China produces remarkable wines, which are rapidly gaining a following in the UK. Get ahead of the game and learn all about them as we taste a wide selection (ranging from the diverse terroirs of the Turpan ‘Firepit’ Basin, to the foothills of the Helan Mountains, to the world’s largest Loess Plateau) at this very special lunch in association with Wines of China UK. It will be hosted by Janet Wang, author of The Chinese Wine Renaissance: A Wine Lover’s Companion, Cindy Yu, presenter of the Spectator’s Chinese Whispers podcast and Spectator drinks editor Jonathan Ray.

Option to buy Janet's book for £20 and have it signed at the event
