Wine For Asia 2010

28-29 October 2010 Sands Expo And Convention Centre

Wine For Asia is a brand celebrated for its focus on business and education for the wine trade and hospitality industry. The new venue is at Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World.

WFA 2010, on its eighth edition, launched a Singapore Global Wine Personality this year and brought in Michel Rolland, the world’s foremost consulting winemaker. The initiative, the first of its kind in Asia, provided Singapore’s and Asia’s F&B trade and wine enthusiasts an opportunity to hear this influential Bordeaux-based oenologist, with hundreds of clients across 12 countries.

The WFA 2010 was smaller as compared to last year. Californian and New Zealand pavillions were not present this time as both held their own tastings a few weeks earlier. There was a Sake & Shochu Pavilion for the first time this year. Showcasing Japanese spirits, the dedicated pavilion showcased Japan's finest, and feature sake and shochu varieties that reflected this evolving industry. The increasing popularity of sake and shochu bodes well for this welcome addition.

A number of activities come with the WFA 2010 - Wine Business Forum , Master Tutorial with Certification in Landmark Australia, 1st Asian Riesling Forum as well as the ViniCasino 2010.

To the dismay of many exhibitors, the crowd is not strong – maybe due to the lack of MRT and awareness to the new venue and lack of publicity for the 2-day show.

Wine for Asia (WFA) and the Singapore Tourism Board had invited many guests to attend their Wine For Asia 2010 Roadshow Presentation Tasting Event. held at Vintry, Jaya 33, KL.

III Inverse Wine Mission

Villarrobledo, Albacete, Spain 19 April 2007 - 22 April 2007

A selected group of wine importers and distributors from all over the world participated in this event. In fact, about 16 people from - Canada, Argentina, Taiwan, Japan, USA, Moscow, Republica Dominicana as well as Singapore. Millie's Enterprise is proud to be in this wine mission, organised by the Official Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Albacete (Castilla La Mancha Region, Spain).

On the first day, we attended the official welcome ceremony with the President of Albacete County Council, Villarrobledo Mayor, Director of Castilla-la Mancha Foreign Trade Promotion Institute (IPEX) and other invited guests. We later went on to taste the wines from the top 11 wineries (two wines per winery) and listen to their presentations. After the event, we went to visit some of the wineries.

On the next day, we visited a Wine Fair specially organised for us. In the afternoon, we visited different wineries, tasted a wider range of their wines and discussed with their export managers and owners.

During the short stay, we maintained very close contact with the representatives from these wineries. It was indeed an eye-opener - you can imagine the latest technologies being used in wine making - huge stainless steels tanks, underground vats, internet controllable tanks, etc.

Many wineries have built large water reserves (some as large as a small lake) for irrigational purpose. Now I understand the reason why. On reaching Singapore, I read about the severe drought the Australian farmers are now facing!

Language is indeed a barrier in Spain as most don't speak English. However, the organisers and winery representatives tried their best to translate their presentations in English for the minority of us who don't understand Spanish.
