Live streaming becomes a trend in the wine industry in China
As professional trade fairs and marketing tours are either rescheduled or suspended in China in the midst of Covid prevention measures, a new trend emerged in the wine industry to run activities online. Live streaming on professional platforms with importers and private online tasting with the vintners are becoming increasingly popular and open new perspectives for distribution and marketing in the future.
Wine 529 is regularly doing wine dinners with live streaming showing the vineyards, the cellars and the vintners with their families, letting the guests enter in the life of the winery and experiencing unknown aspects of the wine world.

The 7th Wine Festival
In 2021 the Wine Festival took place on the roof garden terrace of the Haitian Hotel. The participants who were on site on the first two evenings could fully enjoy the spectacular set up.
Unfortunately all outside activities had to be stopped suddenly because of a typhoon in Qingdao. It took spontaneous hard work to secure the tents and move the fridges full of wine to safe places.
However some parts of the program could be continued inside:
The wine class, co-organized with the region Rheinland-Pfalz, was particularly successful and gathered a large crowd as the wine educator Allen Gao introduced different wines from various regions in Germany.
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs invited members and guests for the second consecutive year to discover their gourmet association with a line-up of German and Alsatian wines and a food menu designed by the Haitian Hotel.
Our thanks go to the sponsors and partners who have supported us through the year, and all the visitors, some of them coming from far away in spite of the risks and Iimitations.
We hope to meet you again next year!
