NEWS EDITORIAL Richard Barnes Editor-in-chief An Asian Success Story… Based on Decades of Global Experience Vinexpo Hong Kong is showcasing the most comprehensive range of wines and spirits presented in Asia. It’s the only event in the Asia- Pacific region offering the possibility to meet the real decision makers, vineyard owners and company holders on the exhibitor stands. Indeed, in just a few years, Asia has become the main growth driver for wine and spirits consumption. The Asian continent already accounts for 11% of global consumption in wine and 63% in spirits. Its growth prospects for the next five years are five times higher than the rest of the world. China still of course represents the highest growth potential, but focusing solely on the Chinese market would mean massively underestimating the broader Asian market. Japan, the region’s second biggest wine importer and top spirits importer, is a dynamic and sophisticated market, unique in Asia. And behind these two countries, the rest of the Asian market is developing fast, creating new opportunities for the wine and spirits trade… But just why is Vinexpo Hong Kong the one and only trade-only wine and spirits exhibition in the Asia-Pacific market? What is the secret of this success? It’s simply because the show relies on the global expertise of Vinexpo - the world’s leading wine and spirits events since 1981… and as they say, “success breeds success”. Here in Hong Kong you will find all the products to meet your customers’ varied needs and you can mingle with international decision-makers, winemakers and merchants. If you haven’t booked already, it’s not too late! We look forward to seeing you at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre for what is set to be another landmark event.
