Black Knight Wine, a division of Black Knight International, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Hong Kong based Wine Connoisseurs' Club/Ming Ying Hui 铭英会 for distribution of the Gary Player Major Championship wine collection in Hong Kong and The People's Republic of China. Over a twenty year period Black Knight International and the award winning Quoin Rock Vineyard located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa will launch 18 vintages comprising the Major Championship Series wine collection. Each vintage commemorates one of Gary Player's 18 Major Championship victories and began with the 2003 vintage the "1959 Muirfield." This vintage commemorated Mr. Player's first Major championship - the 1959 British Open played at Muirfield in Scotland.
"Through our Gary Player Invitational Series of charity golf tournaments and new golf course design projects we have had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time in China and have witnessed the amazing growth in popularity of golf. We are excited about our partnership with William Rosenberger and his team at the Wine Connoisseurs' Club and look forward to introducing The Major Championship Series to China, Hong Kong and eventually all of South East Asia," said Marc Player, CEO, Black Knight International.
The Wine Connoisseurs' Club/Ming Ying Hui 铭英会 sells fine and rare wine in Hong Kong and The People's Republic of China. The Club also creates exclusive events and experiences for its members through a selective network of premier partners. Club services will soon expand into other countries in South East Asia throughout 2010 and 2011.
"We are very honoured and excited to represent Black Knight and introduce the Major Championship Series to the many current and growing number of golfers in the region. The inaugural 2003 vintage, the 1959 Muirfield, is a great wine to share with friends over a nice meal after a long day on the golf course. As well, the beautiful packaging and limited availability will make it a wonderful gift and an excellent addition to your personal wine collection," said William Rosenberger, CEO, Wine Connoisseurs' Club.
The Gary Player Major Championship Series Wine Collection is now available in The People's Republic of China, and Hong Kong, at selected premium golf estates, restaurants and private cellars, or through the Founding Members Programme.
