Global sommelier contest set to lift Ningxia's credentials

An international sommelier championship, drawing the interest of competitors from around the world, is set to significantly boost the already strong credentials of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region as a global player in the wine producing sector, according to organizers.

Increased international exposure should grow the region's wine producing business, expanding its customer base abroad, they added.

Details about the 2018 Belt and Road International Sommelier Championship were unveiled on Monday in the region.
