Hi everyone and welcome to the show, this episode is made in collaboration with the Prosecco Doc Consortium. Today we're very lucky to have two guests in the studio.
Mikelino, who is a wine expert and runs his own wine import business, the wine guy; and Santi who is a managing partner of a very popular cocktail bar/nightclub franchise called Revolucion Cocktail, and they're both based in shanghai. So welcome to the show.
Hello to everybody.
Hi, everyone.
First of all, could both of you tell us a little bit about your business? Let's start with Mikelino, I know you're like an old friend. You've been on the show last year talking to us about Prosecco, but could you tell us still a little bit about your business?
Yeah, absolutely. It's a great pleasure to be back. As you correctly mentioned, I am an importer and distribute wine under the company named The Wine Guy. But as most important, I’m representing Prosecco Doc as Casa Prosecco stuff from the Shanghai part, from the Shanghai branch, so I'm very glad to be back on your broadcast and…
You are all about Prosecco.
Yes, all about Prosecco, yeah, you know me very well.
All right. And some of you probably have met or seen Mikelino during the live stream the other day and teaching me how to open a bottle of Prosecco.
Okay, and Santi, could you tell us a little bit about your bar/ club?I noticed that you have a few different locations as well.
So first of all, thanks for having me. And thanks also Mikelino to introduce for having these broadcasts. First of all, Revolucion is, as mentioned before, is a cocktail bar/club, why? Because Revolucion cocktail come from a Latino concept, is also a Revolucion cocktail and the first one was in Shanghai already 10 years have been past. Yes, and after we start to develop in all over China such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chongqing, Chengdu.
Now the next opening in China will be in Xinjiang in Keketuohai, the ski area. Yeah, we are also in the Bangkok, Thailand, and we opened the first one in France, it’s another concept but still under revolucion, but a very similar concept that is in other ski area.
So the energy is, as we state, is a cocktail bar, so we have like cocktail and a high level cocktail. And after, who wanna keep going to party, it was found properly in a club. So you have this kind of connection between these two places and our definition for that is a jumping bar.
