The Sixth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo opened in Yinchuan, Ningxia, on October 12, China News Service reported. Alongside the expo, an exhibition highlighting scientific and industrial integration achievements along the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains showcased numerous new technologies and products. The exhibition brought together technological innovations from more than 40 Chinese universities, research institutes, technology firms, and regional wineries. More than 170 exhibits spanned the complete industrial chain, including grape planting, intelligent equipment, brewing processes, product innovation, and digital traceability. On-site demonstrations featured a digital artificial intelligence sommelier robot blending wine following scanned orders. For grape cultivation, comprehensive artificial intelligence operational robots and vineyard inspection unmanned vehicles offered routine monitoring, pest screening, and meteorological data collection, while winery advisors trained on large models answered tourist questions. The broader expo represents China's only national-level, international comprehensive wine exposition, holding its main exhibition period from October 12 to October 14. The event arranged dedicated exhibition areas displaying Chinese wine industry achievements, domestic and foreign wines, new technical achievements, and integrated cultural tourism formats.

At the retail level, intelligent wine preservation and dispensing equipment extends the storage duration of opened wine bottles. This practical equipment addresses the commercial operational challenge that previously prevented wineries and vendors from selling wine individually by the glass.
