Moët Hennessy Gathers Iconic Wines from Around the World for "MOËT HENNESSY GRAND WINE TASTING" Event, Responding to the Trend of Premiumization and Experientialization

MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Kanda Jinbocho, Tokyo, hereinafter MHD) will hold a tasting event, "MOËT HENNESSY GRAND WINE TASTING," for trade professionals such as restaurant and retail staff on April 14, 2026 (Tuesday) in Hibiya, Tokyo.
This event will offer a rich experience to deepen understanding of the stories woven by iconic wineries worldwide and the terroir of their regions. We aim to create a platform for interaction where participants can take back "living experiences and words" to enhance their proposals to customers, by touching the essence of the brands.

■ Brand Philosophy and "Experiential Value": The Story Woven by a Glass of Wine 
The winemakers' philosophy, the history of the land, and the commitment to sustainability poured into every drop—we will elevate wine to a "culture to be passed down" and provide insights that will enhance the persuasiveness of professionals active on the front lines in sales environments.
■ Diversifying Portfolio and Enjoyment. The World of Wine Expanding from Food Pairings and Lifestyles
A lineup that richly colors contemporary gastronomy will gather, including "Château d'Esclans" and "Minuty," leaders in the global rosé wine market, and "Cloudy Bay," which is gaining support for its food pairings. At each booth, brand ambassadors will directly explain the terroir and winemaking dedication of their respective wineries. On the day, participants can enjoy wine with food pairings, and the rosé wine experience will be deepened as a lifestyle, reminiscent of the South of France, in a comfortable outdoor terrace, encompassing the wineries' worldviews.
■ Joseph Phelps CEO David Pearson to Visit Japan 
David Pearson, CEO of "Joseph Phelps," a pioneering winery in Napa Valley, will visit Japan. He will share the pioneering spirit that created "Insignia," California's first Bordeaux-style blend, and his vision for the future.
