As thousands of wine show visitors since 2000 will attest, RMB WineX is all about having the greatest range of award-winning wines at your fingertips, a place to glean insider winemaker facts, Cape Wine Master ‘tours’ through the myriad of varietals and styles on offer and an opportunity to shop for Great Deals in time for the festive season. Or just simply an opportunity to be seen celebrating on the red carpet of the good life. The flagship RMB WineX Sandton in October is a 5 000m² space accommodating more than 200 exhibits featuring the A-Z of the wine industry – from the most high profile to the lesser known boutique producers, garagistes and accessory suppliers. To find their way through around 1 000 wines on show, wine lovers can make the most of the Two-Night Pass ticket and will have access to the show’s varietal guide in advance of the show to plan ahead. As in 2011, Mastrantonio will provide food fare fitting for the ultimate wine tasting experience on the move and KayaFM will supply the good vibes. Shop@Show will again offer Great Deals – where the winemakers are invited to go the extra mile in providing the very best show offers available in time for the holiday season. Bookings via Computicket. Tickets cost: Wednesday R120, Thursday and Friday R150. WineX is sponsored by Rand Merchant Bank together with associate sponsors Business Day, KayaFM, RMB Private Bank and new technology partner, Samsung. RMB WineX supports responsible tasting and supplies breathalyser facilities.
