Business Traveller readers enjoyed an evening of networking, dinner and wine tasting on May 24, 2023 at an event with The Wine Flyer.
The Wine Flyer is a recently formed subsidiary of IAG Loyalty, enabling customers to earn and redeem Avios on purchases of wines, beers, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. Since its launch in October last year, members have enjoyed a quarter of a million bottles, and the offering continues to expand.
At the event, more than 60 attendees were treated to a showcase of some of the wines available during a three-course dinner at No.4 Hamilton Place in London's Mayfair.
The starter featured smoked Goosnargh duck, watermelon and cashew satay paired with a Patricius Dry Furmint 2020 (Tokaji, Hungary) and a Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling 2020 (Washington State, US).

European nations have been among the world's leaders in adopting high-speed rail for short-distance trips, along with Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
