Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair to draw big attendence

The HKTDC hopes to continue its success when the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair runs Nov. 3-5, also at the HKCEC.

This year’s partner country will be Italy, which exported wine to the value of $20 million to Hong Kong in 2010, an increase of 45 percent, compared with 2009.

Some of the exhibitors signed up for this year include ASC Fine Wines (Hong Kong) Trading Corporation Limited, Altaya Wines Limited, Jebsen and Company Limited and Jointek Fine Wines (Hong Kong) Limited.

Last year’s wine fair attracted more than 14,000 visitors on its ‘open day’, proving the growing popularity of wine consumption in the region, according to HKDTC officials.
