Everyday Bordeaux 2012 - Invitation to submit entries

 

On behalf of CIVB, Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (Bordeaux Wine Council), Sopexa once again invites wine importers to take part in the Everyday Bordeaux 2012 – the annual wine challenge to select 100 best buys Bordeaux in town.

Since 2007, the challenge has driven great attention to Bordeaux wines that are both excellent in quality and affordable for everyday drinking.

In 2011, we have prepared year-round activities to promote the winning wines:

• The bilingual “Everyday Bordeaux” booklet with wine details, tips and contact information.
• Announcements through press conference and advertisements.
• Everyday Bordeaux pavilion in Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival for all winning wine importers to showcase and to sell.
• Dedicate website Bordeaux.sopexa.com.hk and facebook fanpage http://www.facebook.com/EverydayBordeaux

There are four categories in this challenge:

	Vintage	Retail Price Range (wine shops / supermarkets / direct sale)
Red	2007 – 2011	HK$70 - 350
Dry White	2009 – 2011
Rosé
Sweet White	2004 - 2011	HK$70 - 450

Wines in each category will be blind tasted by a Panel of reputed wine connoisseurs in July 9-10. Results will be announced to importers in August.
