Internet users in China (that’s some 338 million users and the majority living in Beijing, Shanghai and Gangdong) are, in the most unable to access social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, Hotmail, Wordpress and so on.

Anthony Swift replied to Matteo Fagin's discussion Why do some celebrity wines make it and others don't? in the group Wine import & export
"I think it probably depends on how big of a name the celebrity is. Many celebrities own their own wineries and others simply put their names to a wine. So we have Sir Cliff Richard who seems to be selling well particulary in the UK, Antonio Banderas…"

Hello Anthony, Nice to have met you in Lisboa.. may be next in BCN..

Thanks for the info so we will wait for your mail. I have been checking out myself the buyers on the list but would be of great help to have some contact names, etc.

Now I am not sure how we have sent the application but I am afraid that we have asked for only one person table (my husband Pier Sfriso) so I am not allowed in unfortunately. Maybe could I come and join for lunch or dinner? How strict are you on the number of people?

Hi Anthony!

I am glad the workshops went well, hopefully the one here in Treviso will be just as successful. In fact I am writing to ask you if we should expect a full list of the participant buyers with some details about them (name of contact, email, etc), or we have to do the full researching based on the list I see on the site?

We are really looking foward to it! Are you also coming?

Ciao-ciao

Hi Anthony!

We were looking into the list of wineries attending the event "Buyers meet Italian cellars" here in Treviso and are quite suprised that there are ONLY 5 listed? How come is this so? Or is it still too early?

I hope the event will not be cancelled due to lack of participants? Let me know please.

Ciao-ciao
