Chinese create three-ton wine bottle

The Chinese are really getting into wine by creating a huge bottle of it.

The 30-foot long and eight-foot wide bottle contains a rather large supply of Jinding “claret” and was made especially for the Sixth Yantai International Wine Expo held in Shandong province.

It was designed to give the hundreds of visitors a sample of what the wine tastes like and the whole thing weighs three tons.

“We wanted to make sure everyone at the exhibition had the chance to taste our wine,” a spokesman told the Austrian Times newspaper.

“And with the size of this it turns out one bottle was enough.”
