Asia Wine Ratings is proud to welcome Grant Smith, Managing Director of Bespoke Fine Wine Co., Ltd., to its esteemed panel of judges for the upcoming competition.

Based in Bangkok, Grant leads Bespoke Fine Wine Co., Ltd., a boutique wine importer and distributor dedicated to introducing Thailand to some of South Australia's most exciting and internationally acclaimed wineries. While the company champions Australian wines as a whole, South Australia holds a special place in its story — representing a region rich in character, authenticity, and world-class winemaking.

At Bespoke Fine Wine, Grant focuses on curating wines that not only reflect the essence of their terroir but also connect with consumers and trade buyers in meaningful ways. His deep understanding of boutique Australian wine and the evolving Thai market brings a unique perspective to the judging table.

Asia Wine Ratings continues to pride itself on assembling a diverse panel of off-trade experts — including regional and national importers, wine buyers, and retail decision-makers — from key Asian markets such as Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and Vietnam.

With judges like Grant Smith, who live and breathe the realities of wine buying and consumer trends in Asia, Asia Wine Ratings offers producers a unique gateway to commercial relevance and retail success across the region.

Organized by Beverage Trade Network, the team behind globally respected competitions such as the USA Wine Ratings and London Wine Competition, Asia Wine Ratings helps brands get in front of real trade decision-makers and grow in one of the most dynamic wine markets in the world.
