Ms. Linda Chen, President, Vice Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Wynn Macau, Limited said of the global wine events: “Following our debut of the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards in April, which honored the finest wines of China, we now look forward to hosting a series of captivating wine events around the world. Our goal is to showcase the award-winning Chinese wines on an international level, enhance the reputation of Chinese wineries globally, and expand overseas consumer market demand for Chinese wine.”
Chinese wines are generating more headlines around the world, and for all the right reasons. With every vintage, the quality and diversity on offer is improving, and this was recently celebrated by the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards in Macao. Wine experts and enthusiasts assembled at Wynn Palace on April 13 for the inaugural Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards. This event, in support of the global recognition of Chinese wines, featured the best wineries, wines, and top winemaking practices across China.
Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards is the largest gathering of its kind to evaluate Chinese wines based on international standards, shining a light on the country’s thriving winemaking industry. The awards featured more than 700 exceptional wines from 200 wineries evaluated by a panel of 27 esteemed judges, including seven Masters of Wine. Under the supervision of a professional auditing firm, the competition used an internationally recognized 100-point scoring system and blind tasting to select 23 award winners that exemplify quality. During the judging, which took place in March, wine luminaries participated in dinners, Masterclasses, and more at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace.
The award-winning Chinese wines not only set industry benchmarks for excellence domestically, but the recognition elevates their prominence on the international wine scene as they compete alongside renowned wines worldwide based on globally accepted standards. As a result, the competition provides opportunities for winemakers to expand their brands, develop high-end markets, and discover cross-industry opportunities around the world.
As the host resort for the competition, Wynn Resorts Macau is dedicated to elevating the benchmark for hospitality and seeks out the best culinary experiences to share with guests while exercising a deep commitment to promoting exceptional Chinese wines on a global level.
Renowned as a UNESCO-designated “Creative City of Gastronomy”, Macao is the ideal host destination for the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards. It is through events such as these that Wynn actively contributes to elevating Macao’s status as a “World Center of Tourism and Leisure”, injecting new vitality into its ever-evolving tourism industry and accelerating the culinary scene.
