The event commenced with a presentation by Trade Commissioner Mrs. Jennifer Veigel and renowned sommelier Reeze Choi, who provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of Austria's rich wine culture and its diverse, renowned wine regions, setting the stage for the tasting. The masterclass, led by Mr. Choi - 3rd place winner of the 2023 Best Sommelier of the World competition - then showcased the diversity and quality of Austrian wines to an audience of key wine importers and distributors.
Austria’s winemaking industry is renowned for its dedication to quality, sustainability, and its distinctive grape varieties. These factors lead to Austrian wines being increasingly sought after in international markets, with exports being a cornerstone of the industry's success. Which is why, the exquisite wines from Austrian wineries such as Weingut Paul, Weinwurm, Weinschloss Thaller, and Netzl Franz & Christine received significant interest from the attending trade professionals. The tasting was enhanced by premium Austrian ham from Vulcano and used iconic Riedel glassware to ensure an optimal experience.
With its commitment to excellence and authentic professional production, Austrian wine continues to elevate the offerings of premium hospitality and retail sectors in Hong Kong.
