Wine For Asia 2006
2nd - 4th November 2006 Singapore Expo, Hall 4
This is the fourth Wine For Asia, with a theme "Old World : New World - Divergence or Convergence".
This event seemed to draw less crowd when compared to the previous events, but most important we hoped it was drawing quality customers and genuine purchasers. The ultimate bonus was car parking was a lot easier!
More than 450 international and local exhibitors from 23 countries participated with strong presence from Australia, Italy, New Zealand and the first time ever - Hungary! Others include Korea, Argentina, Chile, Spain, South Africa, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Singapore and many others. Many Italian exhibitors were marketing wines produced from consortiums of smaller wineries in Italy.
Many activities were organised such as Wine Style Asia Award 2006, a two-day certification course in International Wine Import (IWI), a Guided Master Tasting Class, online Business Matching, seminars, forums etc. Also Mr James Halliday was invited to participate in the seminars.
