Bottles of wine made from Koshu grapes will soon debut in Europe and the United States in a partnership between a Japanese winery and a French chateau.
Preparations are being made to market the Japanese wine early next year in France, Switzerland, Belgium and the U.S.
The wine will be sold under the Magrez Aruga Koshu label. The first two words represent the partners' family names, while Koshu is a variety of grape as well as the name of the region where the Japanese winery is located.
