PRESENTED BY
There are few Hong Kong occasions that aren’t improved by a decent bottle of wine. Whether you’re trying to impress a client, looking for the perfect BYO pairing for a cooked food center feast, or after something fresh and fruity for a beach barbecue, these four tasty tipples are the toast of the town.
If any, or all, of the below four wines take your fancy, you’re absolutely in luck! There’s a wine sale happening islandwide right now. Pick up deals on all or any of these bottles at your local ParkNShop.
A beach BBQ
It’s summertime and Hong Kong’s beach barbecue season is in full swing. You need a versatile and fruity wine to accompany a day of sun, sand, snacks and sizzling meat. So why not swing for Maison de Grand Esprit Miraculeuse Bordeaux?
A mixture of traditional and modern techniques has given this wine both the characteristics of a classic medium-bodied Bordeaux and a surprisingly supple nature. The juxtaposition of zesty berries and warm spice see it pair spectacularly with anything from pizza to steak. So whatever the picnic basket of life serves up, this is the perfect easy-drinking partner.

Entertaining a client
Your boss or an important client is in town and it’s your job to entertain. Naturally, a nice bottle of red is in order (unless the client is from Japan, then Highballs would be the safest bet).
Stock up on Wynns The Siding Cabernet Sauvignon. This icon of Aussie wine, planted on the world-famous strip of ‘Terra Rossa’ soil that produces fruit with exceptional quality showcasing unique varietal and regional characteristics of red cherry, mint and dark berry flavors. It also has a reputation for aging gracefully, so if you decide to give an unopened bottle as a gift, it can happily mature on the lucky recipient’s wine rack for up to 10 years!

A BYO cooked food center dinner
You never know what’ll be on the menu when you go on a big group outing to a Hong Kong cooked food center. If it’s open to the Bring Your Own Booze culture, which many of them are, you’re going to want to pick a red that’s super versatile. Enter, Wolf Blass President’s Selection Gold Label Shiraz.
This medium to full-bodied beauty from the Coonawarra region of sunny Southern Australia matured for 12 months in seasoned French oak, resulting in smooth red with notes of blueberry and blackberry. The adaptable flavor profile pairs perfectly with a wide range of food, including beef, venison, cheese and, most importantly for us, Chinese spices.

A date night in
You’re planning a cozy night in with your other half, but she’s a Shiraz sipper and you’re crazy about Cabernet. Rather than declare the relationship doomed from the offset, grab a bottle of Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet and toast to the best of both worlds.
With a classic blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that South Australia is famous for, this red is oaky, firm and well-rounded, making it the perfect partner to gamey meats like lamb and beef. Rich black fruit flavors and subtly sweet spice, however, also make it perfectly quaffable on its own. Now all you have to squabble over is which film to watch.
