The World Fashion Drinks Competition (WFDC), launched by Sinoexpo in 2014, has become a major platform in China’s beverage scene—spotlighting cutting-edge creativity in drink design and innovation. In 2026, the competition takes an exciting leap forward with the launch of its Indonesia Division, co-hosted by Shanghai Sinoexpo and Food & Hospitality Indonesia (FHI).

Making its first-ever appearance in Indonesia, the 2026 WFDC – Indonesia Division will be held from 22–25 July 2025 during FHI 2025. This milestone event will gather the nation’s top bartenders, beverage innovators, and mixology trendsetters to compete for national recognition—and for a coveted place in the 2026 WFDC global finals in Shanghai.

But WFDC is more than just a competition. It’s a celebration of flavour, design, sustainability, and storytelling—where drinks become immersive experiences. From mocktails and tea-based creations to functional and fashion-forward beverages, participants will push the boundaries of beverage culture.

For its debut in Indonesia, the competition challenges participants to interpret the theme: “Indonesian Passion and Local Fashion.” Competitors must creatively explore the rich cultural diversity of Indonesia—incorporating local ingredients, tropical aesthetics, and elements of contemporary fashion. Through taste innovation, colour harmony, drink presentation, and interactive experiences, the aim is to highlight the voice of the younger generation and the fusion of passion and fashion in every glass.
