You may have heard that Michelin Guides recently acquired The Robert Parker Wine Advocate (RPWA). It should not come as a very big surprise as Michelin purchased 40 percent of the enterprise a few years ago (2017). In addition, The RPWA and Michelin have been working together since 2016 in Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau on upmarket wine and dining events and the development of new digital content and services.
