[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Homeplus announced on the 14th that it will exclusively introduce high-quality wines scoring 90 points or above from James Suckling, carefully selected and imported from Spain, as the only large supermarket chain in the industry.


This time, they differentiated by bringing in wines from famous wineries across various regions of Spain that are usually hard to access. The representative product is the 'Milcampos Vi?as Viejas Tempranillo,' which scored 93 points on the James Suckling rating. Produced in the famous Spanish region of Ribera del Duero, it is a red wine with a blend of red cherry and chocolate aromas, offering excellent flavor and pairs well with lamb.


At the Spanish wine launching event held on the 13th at the Homeplus Mega Food Market Gangseo branch in Seoul, Guillermo Kirkpatrick, the Spanish Ambassador to Korea, and Mario Pita, the Spanish Economic Counselor to Korea, attended and graced the occasion. Ambassador Guillermo Kirkpatrick said, "I am proud to present the world's best Spanish wines at Homeplus," and added, "I hope everyone enjoys authentic Spanish wines that capture the taste of the homeland through this opportunity."



A Homeplus official stated, "Among the world's various wine powerhouses, we were attracted to the uniquely passionate wines of Spain and decided to introduce them," adding, "We will continue to bring a more diverse selection of wines in the future."
