Simon Chan
Asia Regional Customer Manager
With Simon based permanently in Hong Kong and Pierre traveling regularly between Europe and Asia, we maintain constant awareness of both emerging wine trends and the evolving local market. This dual perspective ensures our clients receive recommendations that are both innovative and practically implementable within the Hong Kong context.
Our work is guided by a simple philosophy: your wine program should be simultaneously a profit center and a source of pride. We measure our success by your improved margins and the satisfaction of your guests.
Is Your Wine List Working Hard Enough?
Capital Constraints
Hong Kong's premium real estate means storage space comes at a steep premium. Are high inventory costs and "dead stock" tying up your capital? Many establishments carry 30-40% more inventory than necessary, resulting in thousands of dollars in inefficient allocation.
Staff Confidence
In a market where customers range from knowledgeable collectors to curious novices, does your staff lack the confidence to upsell premium bottles? Each missed recommendation opportunity can cost hundreds in potential revenue per table.
Competitive Differentiation
With over 8,000 F&B establishments in Hong Kong competing for attention, are you struggling to source unique wines that set you apart? Generic wine lists fail to create memorable experiences or command premium pricing.
Pricing Optimization
In today's challenging economic climate, is your pricing optimized for maximum margin while remaining attractive to customers? Many establishments leave 15-25% potential profit on the table through suboptimal pricing strategies.
The Hong Kong F&B scene demands excellence at every turn. Your wine program shouldn't just be a menu item—it should be a strategic business asset driving profitability while enhancing your establishment's reputation. Our research shows that optimized wine programs can increase beverage profit margins by 20-30% while simultaneously improving customer satisfaction scores.
In a post-pandemic market where operational efficiency is paramount, addressing these challenges isn't just advantageous—it's essential for long-term success in Hong Kong's competitive landscape.
