"I want to see more products that can be used and incorporated in cocktails. I am honored to be part of judging panel and to choose the best products for 2018.
My favorite part of judging is to meet other fellow judges and to pick the 2018 winners!
The HK IWSC is one of the best competitions to help producers to boost sales. I would like to see more activity in social media."
