With the new lunar year we are entering the era of the Water Rabbit. According to the Chinese Zodiac, luck and prosperity are said to accompany us regardless of the animal sign we share.
In light of the new lunar year, today we look at the most traded wines from the last rabbit vintage (2011) among Liv-ex members in Asia.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the majority of the top-traded 2011 wines were from Bordeaux. Three of the First Growths featured on the list (Lafite Rothschild, Haut-Brion and Mouton Rothschild), as did several leading estates from the Right Bank (L’Evangile, Petrus and Ausone).
