[Hong Kong June 25, 2014]– Vinexpo Asia-Pacific, the region’s leading wine and spirits exhibition dedicated to industry professionals, which was held for the sixth time in Hong Kong from May 27-29, broke all previous records in terms of exhibitors and trade visitors. As expected the 2014 expo, which for the first time occupied two full floors of Hong Kong’s landmark Convention and Exhibition Centre - 50% more space than in 2012 - attracted some 16,778 Asian buyers [a 6.3% increase] and 1300 exhibitors [an 18% increase] on the previous show in 2012. With over 90,000 glasses of wine poured over the three days and visitors from 25 different nations, feedback from both visitors and exhibitors alike underscored the fact that Vinexpo Asia-Pacific is now the market leader in Asia, with Hong Kongasthe gateway to the vast China market and a strategic hub for the regional wine and spirits industry. New elements to the biennial Asian expo included a special spirits showcase ‘Spiritual’, which featured exhibiting spirits brands presented in an innovative bar area by professional mixologists and members of the International Bartenders Association (IBA),where over 1,800 cocktails  were  served over three days. In addition, a ‘China Wine Forum’ headlined by an expertpanel debating the future of the China wine markettook place, as well as ascreening of the award-winning wine documentary ‘Red Obsession’ and a master class on Chinese wine. Commenting on his first Vinexpo as the company’s new CEO, Guillaume Deglise said: “This market is more sophisticated than ever, you could feel it in the business secured as well as in the overall atmosphere of the exhibition. We are truly delighted with the outcome”. Speaking about the wider impact of the show Deglise said: “We are proud that the Vinexpo culture extends beyond the trade show and has become an inspiration to the Hong Kong wines and spirits community. Consumers can really enjoy the flavour of the concept thanks to a wide number of independent wine dinners, private tastings and events that take place over the week of Vinexpo. Hong Kong really opens its arms to the show with great benefit for the city's hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs and other establishments thanks to the large volume of international visitors we attract”. Buyers from all over Asia-Pacific The quality of the visitors and the contacts made was unanimously recognised by the exhibitors: “We’ve been at Vinexpo Asia-Pacific since 2008 and we can  see how the visitors’ wine knowledge is increasing. Vinexpo is the best opportunity available to us to meet key professionals in the industry in Asian markets”, commented Rodolfo Maralli, Sales and Marketing Director of Banfi (Italy). The 5,898 buyers, 3% more than in 2012, who came from Mainland China to widen their portfolio of brands, confirmed that Vinexpo Asia-Pacific satisfies their needs. As Terry Tang, General Manager of the wine department of Shanghai Jin Feng Wine Co. Ltd. put it: “The quality of the exhibitors is excellent. We found all the producers andtraders who really interest us. On top of this, the Academy and its master classes are top quality. This is the most professional exhibition I have ever attended. We are really satisfied with the organisation”. 7,064 Hong Kong trade professionals, representing 42% of all visitors, who had been very carefully selected, also walked the aisles of the exhibition. Loyal to Vinexpo Asia-Pacific since 2006, the recognised wine educator Peter Kwong, who owns Talent State Asia liked the new features of the exhibition this year: “I can see that the exhibition has made important new steps forward. The international producers are widely represented and there is more space and more services for visitors.” Among the top sixvisiting nations after Hong Kong and China came Taiwan with 705 visitors, a 10.6% increase, Korea with 370 visitors, down 0.5%, Japan with 355 professionals, up 6.3% and Singapore with 341 visitors, up 20.5%. The striking feature of the 6th Vinexpo Asia-Pacific was the increasing numbers of Southeast Asian visitors with more and more Thai visitors, up 26.25%, as well as 15.5% more visitors from Malaysia, 25.2% more from Vietnam and 19.27% more from Indonesia. Exhibitors from 34 producing nations In three days,1,300 exhibitors from 34 countries displayed the widest range of wines and spiritsever seen under one roof in Asia-Pacific to visitors from 25 different countries.  “Hong Kong is definitely the right place to be and Vinexpo Asia-Pacific is a terrific springboard helping us penetrate Asian markets”, explained Philippe Coste, President of Cognac Meukow. The Vinexpo Academy In parallel with the exhibition, a well-filled programme of 54 tastings, conferences and seminars was delivered by world-acclaimed speakers. The China Wine Forum, focussing on the future of the Chinese wine market, introduced four well-known panellists: Judy Chan from Grace Vineyards, Don St Pierre Jr from ASC Fine Wines, Dixon Yuan of yesmywine.com and Simon Tam of Christie’s. The resounding success of the blind tasting conducted by the world’s Best Sommelier 2013 Paolo Basso, illustrated just how sophisticated the tasting skills and knowledge of Asian professionals have become. Substantial media coverage The local and international media were also out in force to report on the show, with520 journalists, 8.3% more than in 2012, representing the written and audio-visual media, foreign correspondents, specialist wine and spirits reviewers and general reporters from key Asian markets as well as Europe, USA and Australia.
