Hungary is strategically targeting Korea and China as key markets for its wine exports, leveraging the growing interest in premium and unique wine experiences among the expanding middle classes in these countries. Pál Rókusfalvy, the government commissioner for Hungary’s National Wine Marketing Board, emphasizes the importance of education and storytelling in promoting Hungarian wines, which are known for their quality and authenticity. The marketing strategy includes organizing masterclasses, tastings, and exclusive events in major cities, aiming to create brand ambassadors who can authentically represent Hungarian wines. Hungary has been selected as the guest country at the Daejeon International Wine Expo, indicating a surge of interest in its wines in the region. The long-term plan includes expanding the Wines of Hungary campaign into other APAC markets and beyond, with a focus on Japan, where there is a growing appreciation for niche and premium wines.
