首个“世界蛇龙珠日”　First “World Cabernet Gernischt Day”

　　张裕公司创建于1892年，早在创建之初，就从欧洲引进124个酿酒葡萄品种，经过多年嫁接改良，选育出一种优质的、独具地域特点的酿酒葡萄——蛇龙珠。

　　目前 ，蛇龙珠已成为迄今惟一被国际上认可的中国培育的酿酒葡萄品种，张裕公司现拥有全球最大的蛇龙珠葡萄种植基地，其产量占了烟台地区蛇龙珠总产量的80%，占了全国总产量的70%。

　　2016年，张裕解百纳已问世85周年，畅销欧美亚28国，成为国际上广受好评的中国葡萄酒品牌，至今累计总销量已超过4.3亿瓶，成为全球销量最大的葡萄酒“大单品”之一，缔造了举世瞩目的“蛇龙珠传奇”。

　　如今，蛇龙珠对中国的意义，就像长相思之于新西兰、马尔贝克之于阿根廷、佳美娜之于智利、增芳德之于美国、西拉之于澳大利亚……既然国际上有“世界长相思日”、“世界马尔贝克日”、“世界歌海娜日”、“世界美乐日”、“世界赤霞珠日”等节日，那么中国也应拥有属于自己的酿酒葡萄节，那就是“世界蛇龙珠日”。

　　Changyu Company was founded in 1892. Early at the beginning of founding, Changyu Company introduced 124 wine grape varieties from Europe and bred a high-quality wine grape with specific regional characteristics, Cabernet Gernischt, after years of grafting and improving.

　　At present, Cabernet Gernischt has become the only internationally recognized wine grape variety cultivated by China to this day. Changyu Company now possesses the largest Cabernet Gernischt grape cultivation base in the world, whose yield accounts for 80% of the total yield of Cabernet Gernischt in Yantai and 70% of the total yield of Cabernet Gernischt in China.

　　At its 85th anniversary in 2016, Changyu Noble Dragon dry red wine has successfully been distributed to 28 countries in Europe, America and Asia and become a Chinese wine brand highly acclaimed in the world. With a total cumulative sales of over 430 million bottles so far, it has become one of the “large single wine items” with the largest sales in the world and created a “Cabernet Gernischt legend” that amazed the world.

　　At present, the significance of Cabernet Gernischtto China is like Sauvignon Blanc to New Zealand, Malbec to Argentina, Carmenèreto Chile, Zinfandel to America, Shiraz to Australia...Now that there are festivals such as “World Sauvignon Blanc Day”, “World Malbec Day”, “World Grenache Day”, “World Merlot Day”, “World Cabernet Sauvignon Day”, etc., China shall also possess its own wine grape festival, that is, “World Cabernet Gernischt Day”.
