Since 2002, when the Council of Agriculture (COA) liberalized the winemaking market in order to promote local tourism, tourist wineries have sprung up like mushrooms. There are now 130 wineries in Taiwan. Three years ago, the COA began to rate wineries; in 2006, eight of them were selected as top-quality winemakers.
