Bordeaux winemakers sound alarm as EU-China trade war looms

Fears of an EU-China trade war mounted on Wednesday after Beijing launched an anti-dumping investigation into European wine imports, a move greeted with alarm in the vineyards of Bordeaux, France.

The announcement of the wine dumping probe came a day after the European Commission imposed anti-dumping duties on solar panels imported from China.

China is Bordeaux’s biggest export market and takes around one in five of the bottles produced in the renowned area, where up to 55,000 jobs depend on the sector.
