The Chinese internet giant revealed a partnership yesterday with Constellation Brands yesterday, the parent company of Robert Mondavi wines. The agreement will see a a handful of Mondavi wines sold on the Tmall Global platform, including a pinot noir and a cabernet sauvignon. Those selling wines in China now pin their hopes on an increasingly wine savvy growing middle class, who have an appetite for travel and an appreciation of foreign wine. The same company runs a specialized wine division called Jiukuaidao [Alcohol Coming] which partners with around 100 wine enterprises. Alibaba’s partnership with Robert Mondavi wines also marks the opening of a new specialized mall, “Tmall Vineyard Direct,” where it s expected that more high profile foreign wines will soon be added.
