During the afternoon of June 29, Regina Vanderlinde, President of the 
International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), in China to attend the 
VinChina 12th Yantai International Wine Expo, was interviewed at the Yantai 
International Exposition Center. The event was hosted by Gao Jingtao, Head of 
the Yantai Vine and Wine Industry Development Service Center. 

Ms. Vanderlinde offered her ideas about the theme of the expo this year "Let's 
make Chinese Wine the Wine of the World". She said she believes the Chinese 
wine market has great potential, and that this expo has allowed her to further 
experience the outstanding quality and unique charm of Chinese wines. Ms. 
Vanderlinde also enthusiastically acknowledged the unique status of Yantai as 
the only international vine & wine city in Asia, and she particularly noted its 
achievement in regional development and brand building. She finished up by 
saying she expected that Chinese wines would become known to the world as a 
result of this expo, fulfilling the Open, Integration and Sharing theme.
