3 Reasons to visit The World of Wine Fair at Shangri-La Plaza
If you’re a long-time wine lover, a wine connoisseur, or someone who’s just getting into wine, then there’s one event you have to catch today: Marketplace by Rustan’s The World of Wine Fair at Shangri-La Plaza.
Happening for the first time in Manila, The World of Wine Fair looks to be the event for anyone who loves wine. For the next three days, Shangri-La Plaza’s Grand Atrium will play host to 12 of the world’s best winemakers with some of their best wines in tow.
We understand you can get wine at every wine shop in Makati, but here are three reasons why it’s better to head for Shang Plaza right now:
RARE WINES. How often do you get to see these (from left to right): 004 Clos du Marquis Saint Julien, the 2003 Château Nenin Pomerol, and the 2008 Clos du Marquis Saint Julien!
A unique selection. Sure, it’s only 12 wineries, but the range of wines they carry will be enough to satisfy both wine lovers and those just getting into wine. Plus, they’re also selling rare bottles and vintage wines you won’t otherwise find elsewhere, like a 2010 Château Leoville-Las Cases Saint Julien 2 Cru Classe, a 1994 Château Leoville-Las Cases Saint Julien 2 Cru Classe, the 2003 Château Nenin Pomerol, the 2004 Clos du Marquis Saint Julien, and the 2008 Clos du Marquis Saint Julien!
SOME OF THE BEST MINDS IN WINE. Flanking Australian Ambassador Amanda Gorely (5th from left) and representatives from Rustan’s Supercenter are some of the winemakers participating in the event.
Learn from the winemakers themselves. Sommeliers are a great source of information when it comes to wine, but there’s one person who knows more about the wine themselves than sommeliers: the winemakers themselves. Learn from all of them through a series of talks to be held throughout the event.
Big discounts and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The deals you’ll get here are ENORMOUS. Imagine getting a 10% discount per bottle of wine! Planning to buy six or more bottles? That’s 15% off the regular price for one case at Marketplace by Rustan’s! Spent a total of Php 5,000 on a single receipt? Then you’ll have the chance of winning a trip for two to France and an overnight stay at Chateau Lamothe de Haux!
These, along with the 12 wineries giving you a free drink of each wine they have, should be enough for those who want a head start on their wine journey.
Make sure you drop by the Shangri-La Plaza Grand Atrium from today until October 1 for The World of Wine Fair! Can’t make it to the Shang Plaza? Then drop by your nearest Marketplace by Rustan’s until October 8 to get a taste of these fine wines!
Marketplace by Rustan’s are located at San Antonio Plaza, Rockwell Power Plant Mall, Central Square Bonifacio High Street, Connecticut San Juan, Eastwood City, and Shangri-La Plaza.
