【好展會網  飲料專題】 為打造香港成為亞洲葡萄酒中心，當局自去年起實施零酒稅，不單降低了本地葡萄酒售價，更令「紅酒熱」日趨盛行。第二屆「香港國際美酒展」四日起在灣仔會展舉行，貿發局助理總裁葉澤恩表示，今年首九個月葡萄酒入口總值已達二十八億元，較去年急增四成，業界預計，本港有機會取代倫敦成為全球第二大紅酒拍賣中心。不少參展商均表示，內地發展蓬勃，有意藉香港進軍內地市場，新西蘭酒商更由去年兩個增至三十個。 <br> <br>周五向公眾開放 <br> <br>由貿發局舉辦的第二屆「香港國際美酒展」，今日起一連三日在灣仔會議展覽中心舉行，吸引來自三十四個國家及地區超過五百二十家參展商參加，參展商數目及展會面積均較去年上升超過一倍。其中有十三個國家和地區首次參展，如比利時、泰國、新加坡、葡萄牙和波蘭等。美酒展首兩天只供業內人士參與，周五則向公眾開放。 <br> <br>自去年實施零酒稅后，全城掀起一片「紅酒熱」，多個葡萄酒拍賣會和展覽均叫好叫座。貿發局助理總裁葉澤恩表示，香港酒類貿易發展蓬勃，去年葡萄酒入口總值高達三十二億元，較零七年上升七成七，而今年首九個月的入口總值已達二十八億元，較去年同期急增四成。他說，隨著不少酒商進軍香港開設辦事處，多個國際紅酒拍賣會又在港舉行，業界預計本港有機會取代倫敦成為全球第二大紅酒拍賣中心。 <br> <br>葉澤恩說，香港有條件成為亞洲紅酒分銷及交易中心，現時已有五十八個買家團落實來港參加是次酒展，其中三十三個為內地買家團，不少人更非首次參與。他預計，這次美酒展三日入場人數約有一萬人，與去年相若。 <br> <br>內地客來港買酒 <br> <br>作為內地最大葡萄酒入口商的圣皮爾精品葡萄酒香港及澳門分公司，其銷售經理李卓斌表示，內地經濟迅速增長，市民對紅酒需求上升，市場發展潛力大，自本港實施零酒稅后，不少內地人更專程來港買酒，買酒后留港儲存的內地人，每月均有兩至三成的增長。他說，內地酒稅高達四成，來香港購買酒品確實省回不少，「不少內地人係唔貴唔買」。內地人喜買酒作喜慶及送禮之用，較喜歡「舊世界」及有品牌的葡萄酒，消費模式極端，多買最貴或最平的；香港人則多接受新事物，百多元至數百元的酒最受港人歡迎，新舊世界同樣喜歡。 <br> <br>第一次來港參展的新西蘭酒商翔發國際，其董事總經理陳謝冰心表示，雖然公司成立不足兩年，但「新世界」葡萄酒已在全球冒起，有信心新西蘭酒可打入亞洲及內地市場。她說，是次參展屬初探性質，希望藉此找到內地分銷商及東南亞買家。「帶來十六種，共二百四十六支紅、白酒來參展，售價以四百至七百港元為主，但未開展已接獲訂單。」她稱，本港免酒稅后，成為他們在亞洲推廣的首選城市。</span><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </FONT></td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </tr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </tbody> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </table> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </tr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <tr> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <td>
