alcohol allowance into china for long term stay

Hi, please some help. I am moving to China for 3yrs and want to bring with me some bottles of my preferred wines (minimizing it to 8-10 bottles, different ones). I am not sure what is the allowance for alcohol (I've heard is higher for long term foreigners?). Do you know how much alcohol can I bring with me and what is the tax for the excess? I assume that I will have to go through the red channel. Any info on how and when the taxes have to be paid? I want to be sure that everything is going to be ok. Many thanks!!

I did not hear about the different rules for taking alcohol.
As far as I know, if you take more than 1.5l, you have to pay the tax and the tax fare is different for different alcohol.
Do you take the wine or other kind of alcohol? For wine, the tax fare is 50 to 100RMB for about 750ml.
