贺兰山下美酒香
Small Grapes Make a Big Industry
贺兰山深处吹来的风，当地以淡灰钙土、砾石土和风沙土为主的土质，干燥少雨、日照充足、昼夜温差大的气候，奔腾不息的黄河水，让葡萄具有发育完全的香气、良好的色素沉淀和协调平衡的糖酸度。得益于这些因素，宁夏贺兰山东麓成为中国最大的酿酒葡萄集中连片产区，并被列为世界葡萄酒产区新板块。近4年来，贺兰县不断探索“酒旅”融合等产业模式，带动了各族群众增收。
The winds blowing from the depths of the Helan Mountains, the soil mainly composed of light grey calcareous soil, gravelly soil, and eolian soil, and the local climate—scant rainfall, abundant sunshine, and large diurnal temperature variations, together with water from the ever-flowing Yellow River, all of these have endowed the grapes with fully developed aroma, good wine coloration, and a delicate balance between sugar and acidity. Benefiting from these factors, the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region has become the largest contiguous wine grape planting area in China and been considered as a rising star in the global wine fraternity. Over the past four years, Helan County has continuously integrated wine production into the development of local industries such as tourism, which has increased income of local people of various ethnic groups.
