About the Japan Wine Ambassador Program
What is the Japan Wine Ambassador Audition?
Launched this year in partnership with major livestreaming app MixChannel, the audition selects “Japan Wine Ambassadors” based on criteria including enthusiasm for promoting Japanese wine, ability as an influencer and personal character.
Those selected will spend one year carrying out promotional activities aimed especially at introducing the appeal of Japanese wine to people in Japan and overseas who are not yet familiar with it.
