IFTM Wine Appreciation Club supports the PLPEX for two consecutive years
The Macao Institute for Tourism Studies (IFTM) Wine Appreciation Club, an affiliate of the IFTM Student Union, was invited for two consecutive years to support the “Portuguese Speaking Countries Products and Services Exhibition (Macao)” (PLPEX) organised by the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM).
Under the supervision of the IFTM Lecturer Mr. Oscar Ho Man Cheng, IFTM students professionally served and introduced over twenty types of wines from Portuguese-speaking countries to professional buyers and representatives of the food and beverage industry in the tasting area inside the exhibition. They have made use of their wine service skills as well as wine knowledge such as wine regions and grape varieties learned from the IFTM wine courses.
The IFTM Wine Appreciation Club aims to assist students to further develop their wine knowledge and a closer tie with the industry. Through this event, students not only have the opportunity to be a part of a major MICE event of Macao where serves as the Platform for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries but they also accumulate real world experience for their long term career development.
