The University of Adelaide is expanding in the China wine education market, set to offer a joint masters in wine making and viticulture with Shanghai Jia Tong University. Students will take a year of classes at each university and finish with a six-month research project in a Chinese vineyard or cellar. Chinese students already account for nearly 40 per cent of enrolments in UniAdelaide’s wine courses and last year its World of Wine MOOC was published on Tsinghua U’s XuetangX platform.

It’s a corker of an outcome for the uni but given counterfeiting of Australian wine labels in China how long to scammers there start offering courses labelled Grange Uni of Adelide.
