Hong Kong to Host International Wine Exhibition Vinexpo 2010

Get ready for Vinexpo Hong Kong come May 2010.

Asia-Pacific’s International Wine and Spirits Exhibition, Vinexpo, is returning to Hong Kong on May 25-27, 2010 for wine enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. This is not the first time this large-scale event has been held in a city which has gained the attention of the world for its booming wine market.

The annual event in Hong Kong in 2008 drew the attention of many media professionals as well as those in the wine business. It gives those who are part of the wine trade the chance to explore new markets and find out more about current markets, potentially expanding their business reach.

Vinexpo (http://www.vinexpo.com/en/index/) held its first exhibition in 1981 in Bordeaux, drawing more than 500 attendants. Last year’s event saw participants from 48 countries including 2,400 exhibitors and more than 44,000 professional visitors.
