The Shandong miller who became a wine collector

Carefully adding another bottle of Australian wine to the shelves, 41-year-old man Chi Yujin started out running a flour mill, but has now turned his hand to selling wine. Chi's company opened in the downtown city of Rizhao, Shandong Province in April of this year, but he's set up his cellar in a cave some 60 kilometers away. [Photo: VCG]

Over 250 meters deep, the wine cellar covers an area of 1,800 square meters and stores at least ten thousands bottles of wine, mainly imports from Australia and France. [Photo: VCG]

The temperature inside the cave is kept at a steady 14 degrees Celsius all year round. Chi Yujin says it's perfect for storing wine. [Photo: VCG]

Chi says he started collecting wine after a friend studied viticulture in France. When he learned of the cave in Rizhao, Chi decided to change his career to storing and selling wine. What started as a hobby, has now become a career for the 41-year-old. [Photo: VCG]
