Asia’s cocktail scene is evolving at lightning speed, driven by a new generation of drinkers seeking bold flavors, creativity, and immersive experiences. In this dynamic landscape, where does wine — and Prosecco DOC in particular — fit behind the bar? Led by Debra Meiburg, Master of Wine, and Eddie Nara, Certified Spirits Educator, this masterclass begins with an introduction to Prosecco DOC, exploring its heritage, versatility, and distinctive style. From there, the conversation moves into the heart of Asia’s vibrant cocktail culture, examining how this expressive sparkling wine can adapt, transform, and resonate with younger audiences. Through innovative serves, wine-forward cocktails, and thoughtful integration with spirits, we will explore how Prosecco DOC can expand a bar’s creative repertoire while enhancing profitability, versatility, and guest engagement. Is mixing the key to redefining tradition and unlocking new opportunities? Join us to discover how wine is being reimagined — and how Prosecco DOC can play a leading role in the evolution of cocktail culture across Asia.
