Wine appraising

[Jerry D Mead]

I think we may be dealing with a semantic problem here. The word "appraiser" implies estimating the value of a rare or collectable wine.

I think you may be looking for a consultant who can advise you as to label design of the bottle and the quality (and maybe even technical soundness)of the wine.

There are many folks (individual winemakers, laboratories and marketing experts) who do what you suggest, though I do not know any in China.

I personally do some consulting, as to sensory perception and overall package design (if you're designing a package to market in the U.S. - I wouldn't be of much use for Chinese market). And if you need to know specific language to qualify the wine label for sale in the U.S., there are also companies which specialize in legal compliance.

If you would like to discuss your needs more specifically, feel free to contact me via e-mail @ winetrader@aol.com

And I'll try to help you.
