Mando's Mandarin Chinese Course for Wine Professionals is part of the Mandarin Chinese for Professionals series and is specifically designed for wine professionals and serious wine enthusiasts who wish to communicate confidently, naturally, and professionally in Mandarin Chinese in both work-related and social settings.
Rather than focusing solely on vocabulary memorization, this textbook emphasizes real-world usage. It introduces essential wine categories, common grape varieties, tasting terminology, and practical expressions frequently used in wine retail, hospitality, wineries, restaurants, tastings, and professional wine events. Lessons progress systematically from foundational terms to complete wine descriptions, moving from single-sentence practice to realistic situational dialogues.
Mando's Mandarin Chinese Course for Wine Professionals places strong emphasis on when to say it, to whom, and how to speak appropriately in a professional context. Through authentic examples, practical Q&A, and role-play activities, learners develop the ability to describe body, aroma, and flavor, offer pairing suggestions, and adjust their language according to different audiences, situations, and customer needs.
This book is ideal for sommeliers, wine sales professionals, hospitality staff, and wine lovers seeking to expand their professional Mandarin skills. Designed to be practical, flexible, and immediately applicable, it bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-life wine conversations in Chinese.
