Cathay Pacific announces winning Chinese name wine for charity sale
font size    

Cathay Pacific Airways announced the winner for a first-of-its-kind Chinese naming competition for its charity sale of a new wine, Chateau Branaire Ducru, and limited edition bottle Friday.

The winning name "Zhou Bo Tong" comes from a popular character in the martial arts novels by Jin Yong (Cha Leung-yung). His superiority and cheerful characteristic reflect the wine's premium quality, said the judging panel of the competition.

The judging panel included a number of renowned food and wine experts, including Chua Lam, Joe Chen, Lau Chi Sun and some other celebrities along with Cathay Pacific Director of Service Delivery Quince Chong.

Cathay Pacific makes direct contributions to the community through charity projects. This time the airline is working with Chateau Branaire Ducru to offer 100 Limited Edition bottles of the 2000 vintage for sale -- proceeds from which will go to The Cathay Pacific Wheelchair Bank.

Each bottle, priced at 3,000 HK dollars (387 U.S. dollars), will carry the Chinese name label created from Cha Leung-yung's calligraphy and come with a numbered certificate.

The Cathay Pacific Wheelchair Bank was set up 10 years ago during Cathay Pacific's 50th anniversary. This year the airline celebrates 60 years of serving Hong Kong, adding greater significance to this special fund-raiser.

A first in Hong Kong, the wheelchair bank buys special adapted wheelchairs for children with neuromuscular diseases. It has raised over 3 million HK dollars (387,096 U.S. dollars) so far.
