Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A good house wine says a lot about a restaurant, and this fall, an industry awards show in Hong Kong will recognize establishments that take care in choosing the best.
The Restaurant and Bar Hong Kong House Wine Awards will launch for the first time this year in response to what they say is an industry-wide call to acknowledge restaurants that have taken care to select a good house wine.
The secret, organizers hint, is to look for a wine with universal appeal that offers good value for money and is of relative obscurity.
A general rule of thumb is to match the cuisine - be it French or Italian - with a corresponding regional wine.
Wines will be judged in three categories: white, red, and sparkling.
Winners will be chosen by the Hong Kong Wine Judges Association and promoted at the Restaurant & Bar show September 6.
Distributors can also enter each category more than once, on the condition that their wine is listed as a house wine in at least one Hong Kong restaurant.
On the same day, the International Wine Challenge in London will honor the best wine makers and merchants of the year in an event that attracts 700 guests.
The Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong show takes place September 6 - 8.
