Just read an article about Whisky getting popular in china...
"Visit any trendy bar or karaoke club in Beijing, and chances are you will see a group of 30-somethings, men and women, gathered around a bottle of Scotch.
The ever-more hectic nightlife of China's big cities accounts for huge leaps in sales, according to Geoffrey Kau, a manager at Riche Monde (China) Ltd, which distributes the Johnnie Walker brand in the mainland.
"People mix it with green tea, and they can easily finish a bottle within an hour," he said, sitting next to three cases of freshly-imported Black Label."
That sounds cool I am going to try it out this weekend. Very healthy combination.

British drinkers save their local 15th century pub
LONDON, Feb 16 (AFP) - Regulars at a 15th century British pub said Wednesday they had bought their drinking hole to save it from being converted into houses.
A group of 21 customers raised 425,000 pounds (617,000 euros, 800,000 dollars) to buy the Swan Inn pub in Cheshire, northwest England, after landlord Ian Edmondson announced he planned to turn it into residential property.
"We were upset when we heard he wanted to close the pub because it is a viable business and we didn't want to lose our local," said Matthew Barnes, who helped to organise the purchase in the village of Kettleshulme.
"It is only a small village and the pub is the key feature where people can come together to chat and exchange stories," Barnes said.
The pub was closed last October but the locals' offer was accepted earlier this year and it is due to re-open in March.
Great going guys....
cheers
