The 2022 Portuguese Speaking Countries Products and Services Exhibition (Macao) (2022PLPEX), will for the first time collaborate with the ‘G100 International Wine & Spirits Awards’ a professional wine and spirits competition in the Mainland, in order to promote the wines and culture of Portuguese-speaking countries.
 
The joint event started with a wine competition in Shenzhen in early August, followed by a touring exhibition held in Hangzhou on September 15, and will end with an awards ceremony at the 2022PLPEX in Macau at Cotai Expo, The Venetian Macao from October 20 to 22.
 
The awards ceremony will be staged for winners of the “Most Promising Portuguese-speaking Countries Wine and Spirits Awards”, which were selected during the competition in Shenzhen, with a Tasting Area and a G100 Exhibition Area to be set up in order to promote the wines and culture of Portuguese-speaking countries to professional buyers and trade visitors from all over the world.
 
During the ceremony, there will also be business matching sessions as an extension of the touring exhibition in Hangzhou to assist PLPEX exhibitors in seeking partners and creating business opportunities.
 
Also, the 2022PLPEX, the 27th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (27th MIF) and the Macao Franchise Expo 2022 (2022MFE) will be held concurrently at Cotai Expo, The Venetian Macao from 20 to 22 October.
 
In addition to offline promotion activities, a live promotion session on wines from Portuguese-speaking countries was jointly held by 2022PLPEX and G100.
 
Professional wine tasters went live online on the supply chain platform for wine selection, introducing the features of wine-producing regions in Portuguese-speaking countries and the award-winning wines to buyers, distributors, and consumers in the Mainland. Over 200 wine communities and over 1,000 distributors in the Mainland partook in the live session.
