Scotch whisky is to be given improved legal protection against imitation in China, it has been confirmed.
The Chinese government is to introduce Geographic Indication (GI) of Origin Status for the spirit aimed at ensuring all products labelled as scotch whisky come from Scotland.
It follows talks on Wednesday between First Minister Alex Salmond and Shuping Zhi, the Chinese government’s deputy minister for general administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine (AQSIQ).
