Philippe Bera, chief operating officer confirmed, “We’ve seen a 20% topline growth for 2015 which underlines Hong Kong’s emergence as global hub for high-end wine trade.

“Our growth in high-end wine sales since the government abolished import duty in 2008 demonstrates an interest in fine wines by Asian collectors, specifically that of the growing middle class, and a general shift towards real assets in a potentially uncertain economic outlook.”

Omtis represents several top estates in Hong Kong including, Château Ausone, Masseto, Château Angélus, Château Montrose, Château Ducru Beaucaillou, Château Duhart Milon and Château Pichon Baron.

Raymond Bera, Chairman of the company and Philippe’s father added: “We are not traders, but collectors. What we sell is what we own, and the quality of what we own is of paramount importance to us and our clients. Our relationships with estates allow us to offer pristine quality stock and access to ex-Châteaux vintages.”

Philippe Bera finished by saying: “Our commitment is to provide exceptional and innovative services – enhancing the entire fine wine collecting experience as an emotional, financial and lifestyle investment.”
