The DRiNK Awards are fast approaching – and so, we’ll get right to it. Now is the moment you’ve all been waiting for… we are excited to announce the Top 4 nominees across our China and Asia categories!
As always, the Top 4 was determined by a voting panel of industry professionals from the region and the DRiNK Awards 2020 winners will be revealed in just three weeks on November 23 in Shanghai. Before that, keep your eyes out for DRiNK Fest, running from November 12-22 in over 200 venues across China; and DRiNK Street in Shanghai on November 21-22. More info coming soon!
