9th Oct 2024
Wholesale drinks company Drinks Inc. hosted its third annual wine portfolio event on Tuesday, (8 October) at the iconic Grand Opera House in Belfast.
Showcasing the full Drinks Inc. wine portfolio and Christmas gifting offer, the event brought more than 150 members of Northern Ireland’s licensed trade to experience over 175 handpicked wines, including more than 50 additions to the range.
The event welcomed producers from over 60 wineries from around the world including Mionetto, Trivento, Beronia and Wakefield. Representatives from Edward Dillon were also in attendance, showcasing their portfolio of wines and champagnes to the NI market for the first time. Julie Dupouy-Young, Edward Dillon Brand Ambassador, who won Best Sommelier in Ireland in 2009 and 2018, and placed third at the ASI World Sommelier Championship representing Ireland and the Irish Guild of Sommeliers, was on hand to share her invaluable knowledge with guests.
Drinks Inc. Wine Specialist Jonny Callan said: “We were delighted to welcome representatives from the licensed trade, including our valued customers, to our wine portfolio tasting event. Guests discovered what’s new in our portfolio, sampled exclusive and award-winning wines, and met the people behind our wine brands from around the globe.
“It was great to work with the Grand Opera House team for a second year, and our thanks to them for providing a guided tour of the historic theatrical landmark, and to our sister brand Musgrave MarketPlace, for providing charcuterie bites, the perfect wine pairing. It was a fantastic event which took our guests on a delightful wine tasting journey.”
The event also showcased local producers including Armagh-based cider maker MacIvors, and Donegal distillers Muff Liquor, which recently announced a new partnership with Drinks Inc. as it expands into Northern Ireland.
