Decanter Asia Wine Awards
Asia's most prestigious and trusted wine competition
UPDATE
In response to the current global COVID-19 pandemic, we at Decanter are following local Government and WHO advice.
In September, we would be holding Decanter Asia Wine Awards 2020 judging week in Hong Kong, but in light of the current circumstances, and with the need to postpone judging week for the Decanter World Wine Awards until the Autumn, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the Decanter Asia Wine Awards (DAWA) for 2020.
We thank you for your continued patience and support.
