AFWS chairman Nick Scade
On Friday 11 November the BII and the Academy of Food and Wine Service were invited by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China to host a wine tasting event at the Embassy in London for a delegation of top officials. The event was hosted by Neil Robertson, BII Chief Executive, and Nick Scade, Chairman of the Academy of Food and Wine Service, and was designed to offer an appreciation of wine in the Western world, in terms of dining out, tasting and production.
Diageo and Justerini & Brooks kindly sponsored the wine tasting event, and were able to showcase a wonderful selection of fine wines to the delegates, who all went away with thorough tasting notes on the wines, having enjoyed a fun and informative evening.
BII and the Academy were honoured to be invited to provide this training, and would like to thank the Women’s Section at the Embassy for helping to organise such a successful event, and the Ambassador for kindly agreeing to let the event take place in the Embassy’s impressive function room. BII and the Embassy are excited about the building of future bridges between China and the UK hospitality trade, who still have much to share with one another.
