I didn’t learn this until about a year ago, but fine china is a type of ceramic, similar to porcelain or bone china. They differ in what mixtures they are made of and what temperature they are dried at.

My understanding is that china is any type of porcelain made in China.

Sort of how scotch is any kind of whisky made in Scotland.

  Since whisky is always made of grain, it would be any whisky made in Scotland.
  
  You’re completely wrong, but at least you’re confident. There’s quite a few regulations that need to be met if you want to legally sell your whisky as Scotch, including the type and shape of your still, the wood for your casks and the aging process.
