China Sommelier Wine Challenge 2010

  

        
Enter your wines in the China Sommeliers Wine Challenge 2010 and uncork your China market potential

The China Sommeliers Wine Challenge 2010 is the only Chinese sommeliers focused blind tasting wine event of its kind. The event brings together China’s leading sommeliers, both local and international working in China, and a panel of renowned sommeliers including world and regional champions.
The first ever China Sommeliers Wine Challenge in 2009 received overwhelming positive feedback from the judges and participants, achieving great success and gathering recommendations from across the wine and spirit industry. In 2010, we will expand the challenge with more China based judges with influence on wine purchases.
China’s sommeliers will lead the development of the Chinese wine market and it’s essential for wine producers, importers and distributors to establish strong relationships with these decision makers from an early stage.
