In the large-scale wine tasting zone, more than 10,000 wines from major wine-producing countries such as Italy, Spain, France, and Germany could be seen in one place. Wines selected through the ‘Asia Wine Trophy’, one of the world’s three largest wine competitions approved by the International Wine Organization (OIV), are distributed with the ‘Daejeon Label’ attached.
At 7 pm on the 26th and 28th, the ‘Wine Culture Night’ event was held at Hanbit Tower Plaza, Daejeon Expo Science Park, where you can enjoy jazz and K-pop performances, adding to the excitement.
