Member firms of the Malta Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise’s Wines, Spirits, Beverages and Tobacco Trade Section presented wines from 18 wine regions and countries at a wine tasting evening in the Lewis Farrugia Courtyard of the Exchange Buildings.

Chamber director-general Kevin J. Borg said the evening was planned to give members involved in the production and importation of wines an occasion to showcase their products in a unique setting while providing members and their partners with a social event.

“We made it a point not to charge our members but we asked our guests to make a donation to the Puttinu Cares for Children’s Cancer Support Group,” he said.

The participating firms were Anthony Farrugia Co. Ltd; Attard & Co.; Charles Grech & Co. Ltd; Emmanuel Delicata Winemaker; Francis Busuttil & Sons Ltd; Camilleri Wines; M. Demajo (Wines & Spirits) Ltd; Marsovin; NM Arrigo Ltd; P. Cutajar & Co; Paolo Bonnici Ltd, Antonio Piscopo Co. Ltd, S. Rausi Trading; Red October Co. Ltd and Wands Ltd.

Chamber president Victor A. Galea suggested that the evening becomes an annual highlight in the chamber’s diary.
