News this week: The 8th edition of Vinexpo Asia Pacific recently
concluded at the Hong Kong
Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) hosting 1,300 exhibitors. The
three-day show featured wine and spirit brands from 34 countries, with French
exhibitors taking up more than 500 booths. Vinexpo Asia Pacific was held from
27th to 29th May 2014.
According to the show’s organiser, an estimated 16,800 trade visitors
were in attendance – up 6.4% from the previous edition in 2012. Vinexpo Asia
Pacific also reported that despite a 2.5% drop in wine consumption in mainland
China last year, China managed to overtake France as the world’s largest
consumer of red wine in 2013.
Guillaume Deglise, CEO of Vinexpo, said, “This is the largest Vinexpo
Asia Pacific ever. The markets of South East Asia and China are still booming. There
are many markets in Asia where the middle class is expanding and this
represents a great potential for the wine and spirits industry.”
