Hong Kong ‘great opportunity’ for Hawke’s Bay wines (NZ)

The elimination of duty on wine into Hong Kong is developing a whole new wine drinking consumer group that presents a great opportunity for Hawke’s Bay wineries, according to Debra Meiburg, Master of Wine and long-time Hong Kong resident. Ms Meiburg, who was in Hawke’s Bay last week to meet winemakers, says there is a rapidly growing mid-market of consumers who can now purchase wine at affordable prices through supermarkets, reports Voxy News.
