The attendance of large numbers of top buyers, as well as the presence of well-known experts, who delivered seminars and led tastings, made TopWine China 2012 an outstanding success. In 2012 the supporting program included the TopWine China Summit, organized by the Vino Vogue Magazine and the second Wine Services Team Competition (WSTC), organised by Master Sommelier Tommy Lam and chaired by Master Sommelier Darius Allyn from the USA. It shows that the organizers are very much committed to make TopWine China a landmark event for the global wine industry to capitalise on the sustained growth and potential of China.
