In 2007\, imports were HK$1.6 billion\, compared to HK$8.4 billion last year. \nThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council forecasts a growth rate of 7.8% per annum in terms of value for 2014 to 2019\, so it shows no sign of slowing down. \nThe exhibition will play host to wineries from around the world and visitors include distributors of food and beverages\, retail\, trade\, sommeliers\, media and consumers. \nWith over 7 million people in Hong Kong and 1.3 billion on the mainland\, the potential market size is vast. \nHK Exhibition Centre\, Wan Chai\, Hong Kong\n7 – 9 November 2019\nDetails at: www.hktdc.com \nhttps://event.hktdc.com/fair/hkwinefair-en/HKTDC-Hong-Kong-International-Wine-and-Spirits-Fair/
