The stunning high-tech design of this blog might suggest that Grape Wall of China is flush with cash. It isn’t. Thus, I won’t be heading to Hong Kong for Vinexpo 2012, which starts tomorrow.

But as with Wine Future, held less than seven months ago, I aim (hope) to do daily posts from Beijing that cover the sweetest tweets, the wackiest wines and the most titillating tales of drunken hi-jinks from Hong Kong, as gleaned from the web and email (contact me at beijingboyce (at) yahoo.com if you see anyone totally out of control on Blue Girl beer).

And for those who would like a refresher on Wine Future, held about six months ago, check these three posts:

• Wine Future Hong Kong 2011: Top 20 Tweets from Day One
• Wine Future Hong Kong 2011: Top 20 Tweets from Day Two
• Wine Future Hong Kong 2011: Top 20 Tweets from Day Three
