STORYLINE:
In a 1.5-hectare vineyard 39 kilometers north of the Tanzanian capital of Dodoma, 67-year-old grape farmer William Swai has recently been busy checking the grapes, which will be fully ripe and picked to make delicious wine by mid-July.
Tanzania, despite not having an international reputation as a wine producer, is home to the second-largest wine-producing region in sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa.
Swai said that the opening of international markets, including the Chinese market, to locally-made wines will boost the production of the country's wineries.
