Problem
Chinese people reputedly like to drink red wine, which makes them feel and look macho, but they are missing out on all the delicious white wines, sparkling wines and rose wines. Reisling is the famous wine of Austria. They also have a pinot blanc (blanc is French for white - in German weissburgunder - a compound word meaning white Burgundy; pinot noir is the main grape of Burgundy; pinot blanc is a genetic mutation).



Solution
 Austria is a country with great white wines as well as reds. Now is a chance to sample both whites and reds.

The event runs Monday November 12-Friday November 16 2018.
Venues include
Monday Nov 12 2018 - Leopold (Wines - was SGD 78++)
Tuesday Nov 13 2018 Chef's Table by Chef Stephan. (5 course dinner.)
Thursday Nov 15 2018 Level 33 (Bottle party.)

Level 33 with it view over Marina Bay is often used for promoting wines and other events. I have been there before.
