[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Bottle Bunker announced on the 24th that it held a tasting day for general customers, conducted directly by the owners and export directors of seven wineries belonging to the Bordeaux Grand Cru Union.

Founded in 1973, the Bordeaux Grand Cru Union consists of representative wineries from Bordeaux, France, the homeland of wine. To promote the excellence of French wine and the outstanding quality of premium Grand Cru wines, it holds tasting events worldwide every year.

On the 21st, the pre-reservation ticket sales page for the tasting event opened on Bottle Bunker's official social media (SNS) account, and all seats were fully booked within an hour, showing enthusiastic customer response. Participants tasted a total of 18 wines, two vintage representative wines from each winery, and enjoyed various finger foods paired with charcuterie from the handmade ham specialty store, Sogeumjip. After the tasting class, attendees were also given the opportunity to get the winery owners' autographs on the wines.

Bottle Bunker Zetaflex decided to operate representative wines from eight wineries of the Bordeaux Grand Cru Union on the tasting tap for customers who could not attend the tasting event. Customers can taste wines from Bordeaux's representative wineries priced between 10,000 KRW and 40,000 KRW per glass (50ml), and nine popular wines, including Ch?teau Montrose 2014, will also be available for sale.

Lee Young-eun, team leader of Bottle Bunker, said, “It is very meaningful and rewarding that we introduced the Bordeaux Grand Cru Union tasting event, which was previously only open to experts, to general customers for the first time in Korea. We will strive to offer beneficial classes and various events for the public by utilizing Bottle Bunker, which has become a wine landmark and cultural space.”
