China Sommeliers Wine Challenge 2009 is the only sommelier focused blind tasting wine event of its kind in China. 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.
China launched its first National Sommelier Competition this year with resounding appreciation and acclaim from China's wine and hospitality industry. Wine & Spirits China taking place at FHC China is now working together with the organisers of the first National Sommelier Competition to bring you a dedicated sommelier wine challenge for the first time in China.
