On July 20, Zhengzhou of Henan Province suffered a sudden heavy rain which was close to the area's annual average rainfall. The city area experienced serious waterlogging, and the local wine merchants suffered varying degrees of loss.
Mr. Lei, who operates a wine studio in Zhengzhou, said that due to heavy rains and waterlogging, the entire city was paralyzed, and all the businesses were affected.
Mr. Xue, a wine distributor who sells imported wine in Zhengzhou, said that due to heavy rains, there was no water or internet in the office, and delivery in the city was stagnant, and all employees were at home. Now it is not the issue of delivery, but the issue of life safety, so the company can only take a leave. “Not only that, we also have a container stuck on the road and unable to enter Henan.
Xue also said that due to heavy rain, parts of Zhengzhou were flooded. “As far I know, the warehouses of a wine distributor were flooded and suffered heavy losses. After all, the warehouses were all underground or on lower floors.”
"I know that the warehouse of a large wine company was flooded and lost more than 10 million yuan. The label may be replaced if it is soaked, but because many wines are cork stoppers, once the rain enters, they cannot be sold at all." he said.
