Due to the diverse product range, we were able to find wines as cheap as $199, like Heritiers du Comte Lafon, Macon-Villages, 2018. Some other incredibly well-priced wines we saw included Domaine Rion Les Bons Batons 2018 ($230) and Edouard Delaunay Bourgogne Cote d\u2019Or Rouge 2017 ($229). Since the wines in the store are classified by villages, you can easily pick your preferred types and sample them in their spacious tasting room.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to find out more while we were over having a taste, so we sat down with Paulo Pong, the Founder of Etc Wine Shops, to learn more.<\/p>\n<h3>How are things changing in the world of wine?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214536\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214536\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-900x643.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214536 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">People are having less wine pairing dinners in restaurants due to social distancing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to Wine Intelligence\u2019s October report, a global growth in wine consumption frequency has been witnessed. Although most people keep their wine budget the same as before COVID-19, we see people investing more effort in picking the most suitable wines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you aren\u2019t facing restaurant and bar markups, you\u2019re able to enjoy some special bottles that were perhaps previously perceived to be outside of the ordinary threshold, \u201d Paulo explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to help customers enjoy different wines by curating packages. These might be all from one producer, one appellation or a mixed batch of wines we consider to be special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Numerous businesses have been coming up with creative ways to increase customer satisfaction during the pandemic. Etc Wine Shops is one of those who stand out with their huge yet refined selection and personalised customer experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Get excited for a Burgundy revolution!<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214537\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214537\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-1-900x643.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214537 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-1-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-1-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/10\/Paulo-Pong-Interview_wine-1.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The magic of Burgundy lies within the terroir<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Located among the valleys in eastern France, Burgundy is famous for producing costly fine wines, yet there are also many villages that make unexpectedly modest wines. Terroir \u2013 a French word that describes the climate, soil and other environmental factors of a vineyard\u2013 is what makes each wine producer distinct. Using the same grape type, each village can produce largely different wines with a unique bouquet and aftertaste.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistorically, Hong Kong has been infatuated with Bordeaux,\u201d Paulo says of how Burgundy wine has developed its popularity in Hong Kong. \u201cBelieving that there is enough demand in the local market for premium Burgundy wines, Etc Wine Shops has decided to open a branch specialising in Burgundy wine in Central.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Any tips on choosing affordable yet high-quality wines?<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cLearn your classifications first and foremost, then learn your villages and appellations. Certain spots produce more affordable wines, such as Marcon and Saint Aubin,\u201d Paulo explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor reds, look for Beaune and Santenay. If you can pick out these place names on an intimidating wine list, you\u2019re likely to be able to enjoy a fantastic wine at a good price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shop at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etcwineshops.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Etc Wine Shops<\/a> online<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etcwineshops.com\/blog\/great-burgundy-offer-celebrate-burgundy-etc-coming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Burgundy Etc<\/a>, shop 108, 1\/F, Central Building, Pedder Street, Central, p. 2812 2009<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finished conquering all the cool rooftop bars and cosy gin bars in town?
