Update<\/em><\/strong>: I realised that the finalists in fact did not go to France to compete for a final one winner, but rather to have a good time. So the videos where the actual competition. Check out the articles on Cocktail Lovers<\/a> to see what the finalists where up to.<\/em><\/p>\n

The global final of G’Vine Perspectives will take place next week in France; and this is a good opportunity to present the ten finalists and their entries. Across the board, it was interesting to see how many entries used different wine-based ingredients, most notably sherry, but also wine-syrups, aperitifs and, of course, my beloved Rin Quin Quin. Against this back-drop, this made the few drinks that didn’t use any stand out more, most notably Sean’s take on a Southern Exposure. At the same time, I’m a bit disappointed at how some participants failed to establish a credible connection between their inspiration and the cocktail.<\/p>\n

If I had to put my bet, I would bet on Sean, Nathan and Soran; but I wish all the competitors best of luck!<\/p>\n
