A specialist
advisory at the
crossroads

Smak Associates is a Dubai-based fine wine advisory consultancy, established to serve two distinct but complementary needs: providing Asian wine distributors with unparalleled European market intelligence, and helping European estates navigate the complexities of Asian market expansion.

Operating from the UAE, we sit naturally between the world's finest producing regions and its fastest-growing consuming markets — allowing us to maintain live relationships on both sides simultaneously.
