Famed as Hong Kong’s only WSET provider run by a Master of Wine, MWM Wine school unveils Georgian Wine Month, including a Masterclass with Debra Meiburg MW to introduce the world’s oldest winemaking nation to Hong Kong’s many wine lovers.
Founded in 2016 by Master of Wine Debra Meiburg MW, MWM Wine School is a first-class wine education hub in Asia dedicated to introducing top quality wine from across the globe, as well as offering engaging (and fun!) wine classes and courses to beginners, wine connoisseurs, and food and beverage professionals.
As the oldest documented winemaking technique, wine has been made in amphora (‘qvevri’) for more than 8,000 years in Georgia, the birthplace of wine. Today, winemakers have become fascinated by this ancient vessel and the unique skin contact white wines often made within it.
Practiced throughout the country, the traditions of Georgian winemaking in qvevri are handed down through family generations, which makes Georgia’s winemakers an authority on these trending wine categories. Add to this the 525 native grape varieties used to make wine in Georgia, and it offers so much to discover for both novices and experienced wine lovers.
To offer wine lovers a taste of these unique and fascinating wines, MWM Wine School has unveiled Georgian Wine Month 2021, from 26 May to 26 June, to offer wine lovers the chance to explore the true origins of wine and discover why the ancient winemaking country of Georgia is capturing the attention of wine connoisseurs all over the world.
This month-long festival will feature a wide array of promotions and events in restaurants and retail outlets, including La Cabane, AnOther Place, Duddell’s, MyiCellar, Tapas Brew, The Fancy! Bottle Shop & Studio, Kitchen Savvy, and more.
A major highlight of Georgian Wine Month is the Georgian wine masterclass given by the school’s founder Debra Meiburg MW on June 9. To help participants gain a deeper understanding of Georgian Wine, the event lets them compare wines made in traditional and modern methods through a tasting of eight diverse wines.
