The average Hong Konger is drinking more wine than anyone else in Asia. We consume 4.7 liters a year, according to a survey by International Wine & Spirit Research for Vinexpo. That's more than the Japanese’s 2.4 liter average and Singapore’s 2.1 liters.
With the growing number of vino aficionados, a new breed of wine shop has cropped up across the city. Breaking away from the mainstream, they are run by true wine geeks on a mission to educate.
Whether it’s through formal classes or touch screen technology, these newcomers are changing the game.

Sex sells at Portrait Winery
Portrait Winery makes a Pinot Gris that evokes a sexy librarian. This place strives to be the most down-to-earth tasting room in the city. There's no wine jargon or fancy labels, instead, founder Steven Jaray will plunk down glass after glass, asking you to sniff, swirl then gargle.
