第二届香港国际美酒展盛大开幕 规模超上届一倍

【好展会网  饮料专题】 为打造香港成为亚洲葡萄酒中心，当局自去年起实施零酒税，不单降低了本地葡萄酒售价，更令「红酒热」日趋盛行。第二届「香港国际美酒展」四日起在湾仔会展举行，贸发局助理总裁叶泽恩表示，今年首九个月葡萄酒入口总值已达二十八亿元，较去年急增四成，业界预计，本港有机会取代伦敦成为全球第二大红酒拍卖中心。不少参展商均表示，内地发展蓬勃，有意藉香港进军内地市场，新西兰酒商更由去年两个增至三十个。 <br> <br>周五向公众开放 <br> <br>由贸发局举办的第二届「香港国际美酒展」，今日起一连三日在湾仔会议展览中心举行，吸引来自三十四个国家及地区超过五百二十家参展商参加，参展商数目及展会面积均较去年上升超过一倍。其中有十三个国家和地区首次参展，如比利时、泰国、新加坡、葡萄牙和波兰等。美酒展首两天只供业内人士参与，周五则向公众开放。 <br> <br>自去年实施零酒税后，全城掀起一片「红酒热」，多个葡萄酒拍卖会和展览均叫好叫座。贸发局助理总裁叶泽恩表示，香港酒类贸易发展蓬勃，去年葡萄酒入口总值高达三十二亿元，较零七年上升七成七，而今年首九个月的入口总值已达二十八亿元，较去年同期急增四成。他说，随着不少酒商进军香港开设办事处，多个国际红酒拍卖会又在港举行，业界预计本港有机会取代伦敦成为全球第二大红酒拍卖中心。 <br> <br>叶泽恩说，香港有条件成为亚洲红酒分销及交易中心，现时已有五十八个买家团落实来港参加是次酒展，其中三十三个为内地买家团，不少人更非首次参与。他预计，这次美酒展三日入场人数约有一万人，与去年相若。 <br> <br>内地客来港买酒 <br> <br>作为内地最大葡萄酒入口商的圣皮尔精品葡萄酒香港及澳门分公司，其销售经理李卓斌表示，内地经济迅速增长，市民对红酒需求上升，市场发展潜力大，自本港实施零酒税后，不少内地人更专程来港买酒，买酒后留港储存的内地人，每月均有两至三成的增长。他说，内地酒税高达四成，来香港购买酒品确实省回不少，「不少内地人係唔贵唔买」。内地人喜买酒作喜庆及送礼之用，较喜欢「旧世界」及有品牌的葡萄酒，消费模式极端，多买最贵或最平的；香港人则多接受新事物，百多元至数百元的酒最受港人欢迎，新旧世界同样喜欢。 <br> <br>第一次来港参展的新西兰酒商翔发国际，其董事总经理陈谢冰心表示，虽然公司成立不足两年，但「新世界」葡萄酒已在全球冒起，有信心新西兰酒可打入亚洲及内地市场。她说，是次参展属初探性质，希望藉此找到内地分销商及东南亚买家。「带来十六种，共二百四十六支红、白酒来参展，售价以四百至七百港元为主，但未开展已接获订单。」她称，本港免酒税后，成为他们在亚洲推广的首选城市。</span><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </FONT></td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </tr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </tbody> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </table> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </tr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <tr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <td>
