Our events: Promoting wine to all students.
1
The Wine Society of the Chinese
University of Hong Kong aims at
providing opportunities for student
wine lovers to explore and
understand more about wine. We
firmly believe that wine tasting is
not only about enjoyment of wine
but also the pursuit of wine
knowledge and socializing in
different occasions.
The Wine Society organizes a
range of activities throughout the
year. They include regular wine
tasting workshops, wine dinners,
2
visits to vineyards and
international wine fairs. The
Society has also established a
Wine Team (named Dream Team).
Every year, we take part in the Left
Bank Bordeaux Cup (previously
named 20 Sur Vin) held in
Bordeaux, France.

Wine Society
Appreciation of wine is open to everyone today.

Wine Tasting Workshops
Enjoyment of, and interest in, wine
is no longer the preserve of those
greeted at birth with a pipe of port
and schooled in claret
appreciation from the cradle on.
Appreciation of wine is open to
everyone today, including student
wine lovers.
In light of this, every week, we
hold a wine tasting workshop
featuring wines from different
regions and different topics of
interest. The size of the workshops
differs from 10 (focus group) to 40
and they are usually held on
school campus in the University
Bar (Si Yuan Amenities, United
College).
We work closely with the Hong
Kong Wine Merchants’ Chamber of
commerce, Kung Kai Hong, Wine
Judges Association, big and small
wine cellars and wine companies

in organizing the wine tasting
workshops. Workshops feature
wine glass tasting, food pairing,
wine judging and tasting French
wine, Italian wine, Spanish wine,
California wine, Chinese wine and
Portuguese wine.
Wine Dinner
The Wine Society is honored to
have tremendous support from
different walks of life, especially
people in the wine industry. Every
year, we hold a Wine Dinner
inviting our honorary advisor,
sommeliers, representatives from
wine companies and members of
the Wine Team. Apart from the
Annual Wine Dinner, we also
attend private wine dinners held
by different wine cellars and wine
companies.
