ACBC Victoria End of Year Celebration 2018
On Tuesday 27 November 2018 over 100 ACBC members and guests joined our President, Executive Committee and staff at International Chamber House for our annual End of Year Celebration sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
The event provided an opportunity for ACBC members and guests to catch up, network, reminisce over the year just past and celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season.
ACBC members and guests listened to guest speaker, leading Australian wine writer Jeremy Oliver, who spoke about the emerging opportunities in the China Market and how to position Australian Wine. Highly regarded in the Australian wine industry, Jeremy juxtaposed the differences between Australian and Chinese wine culture and emphasised the importance for exporters of Australian wine to China to be aware of how their products will be incorporated into Chinese wine culture.
The night concluded with a draw for the three door prizes: a one night sleepover in a studio suite at the Chen courtesy of the Art Series Hotel Group, a Balvenie twelve year old whiskey valued at $105, and a Glenfiddich whiskey cask collection select cask valued at $79 courtesy of Dufry.
ACBC warmly thanks the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for kindly sponsoring the event. We also extend our thanks to guest speaker Jeremy Oliver for sharing his insightful and interesting assessment of emerging opportunities for positioning Australian wine in the China Market, and to the Art Series Hotel Group and Dufry for providing the highly-coveted door prizes. Finally, we kindly thank all those who attended.
