This course is designed to enhance delegates' knowledge and understanding of how to run a wine storage facilities in a strategic and systematic manner. The training will be based on the Wine Storage Management Systems Certification Scheme which is the first of its kind in the region, if not the world.
Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) has partnered with the industry to develop the scheme, with a view to certifying that our commercial and long term fine wine storage facilities meet certain standards – which according to the key players in the wine industry, should be alongside or even better than those of the facilities available internationally.
Not only was the idea of having such a scheme championed by the industry itself, local industrial experts have contributed a great deal to the process leading to promulgation of the scheme. Many of them serve on the Technical Committee of WSMS whose responsibilities include providing guidance in drafting and finalizing the specifications for certification. Their expertise has been particularly valuable to HKQAA when drawing up specifications which will help ensure that Hong Kong’s certified facilities offer conditions, according to the key players in the wine industry, comparable to the very best international practices for the proper cellaring, storage and warehousing of wines in Hong Kong.
