This year’s Great Wines of the World Asia events on November 2 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel and on November 5 at the Rosewood Hotel proved once and for all that Asia loves great wines! More than 1,100 wine enthusiasts and trade attended each event, enjoying wines from more than 100 top wine producers across 14 countries.
These events are bigger and better than ever, showcasing iconic wines such as Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Opus One, and Bruno Giacosa, as well as producers from upcoming wine regions such as Hungary and Russia. “The excitement was palpable, we had huge lines of people waiting to come in one hour before the doors opened. I think that says a lot about the caliber of the wineries present here today,” says Anne Krueger, head of Asia operations for JamesSuckling.com.
Hong Kong Grand Tasting
More than 115 of the worlds' greatest producers joined Great Wines of the World Hong Kong this year.
James also announced the night before the Beijing event his Top 100 Wines of 2018 as well as the Wine of the Year – the 100-point Chateau Canon.
“This event gets better and better every year as we believe it is important for wine lovers in Asia to taste these great wines of the world and meet first-hand the winery owners and winemakers behind them,” says James Suckling, CEO of JamesSuckling.com.
