MOSCOW 14 February 2020 — Russian social media influencer Viktor Wolf visited the Philippine Exhibit at PRODEXPO 2020 in Moscow on 12 February 2020, and gave a very favorable review of Philippine liquor products after giving them a taste test. 

Viktor Wolf is a famous Russian influencer and culinary and liquor specialist. He posted his views on his Instagram account and on his YouTube Channel.

“We are very grateful to Mr. Wolf for dropping by our exhibit and sampling our products.  We are glad that he liked our drinks and welcome his kind words and positive review,” Philippine Ambassador to Russia Carlos D. Sorreta said.

It is the first time for the Philippine Embassy to participate in PRODEXPO.  The Ambassador added that many have visited the Philippine Exhibit and enjoyed the world-class and award-winning Philippine liquor products. PRODEXPO is Russia's largest trade fair for alcoholic drinks.

“This booth is the most exotic one I’ve seen today at the expo,” Mr. Wolf said in his YouTube video. He added that it is his first time to try Philippine liquor, saying he rarely encounters Philippine products. He tasted some of the bestselling products from Destileria Limtuaco, Tanduay Distillers, San Miguel Brewery, and Ginebra San Miguel, and posted some of his impressions on his social media pages. On Destileria Limtuaco’s San Juan Lambanog, he found the taste pleasant, saying that the drink would go perfectly with the pan-Asian dishes he cooks on his channel. On Tanduay Rum, he found the taste exotic, nice and caramelly.

The exhibit of Philippine Spirits, Liqueur, Wine and Beer at PRODEXPO 2020 on 10-14 February 2020, at the ExpoCenter Fairgrounds in Moscow is Pavilion 3, Stand 3D24. On exhibit are alcohol products from the top Philippine distilleries and brewery.

“We are very grateful to the great partnership we have with our Philippine producers who were kind enough to share their products with us not only for PRODEXPO 2020, but also for our other promotional activities,” Ambassador Sorreta added. END
