Hong Kong is home to an abundance of talent, spanning across different career paths from singers to wine connoisseurs. Each week we interview some of the most notable influencers and entrepreneurs from around the city to learn some of their quirky habits, hopes and dreams, and “favourite things” to share with us, all within the short timeframe of 10 minutes. This week, we got up and personal with Bernice Liu (currently under quarantine so we conducted the interview online), the Canadian actress, singer, model and founder of wine company Bellavizio.

 

A Little Background…

Bernice Liu was born and raised in Canada before moving to Hong Kong to pursue her acting career. Famed for her many talents—which include, but not limited to, acting, singing, dancing, winemaking—the starlet made her debut during her career with TVB from 2001 to 2011, before her decision to leave the company due to a serious back injury. Her passions include charity work, hiking, fine dining, caring for her seven pooches, and managing her Bellavizio wine label which specialises in a range of white and red wines. We asked Bernice a quick ten questions on some of the things she currently loves and does during her time in quarantine.
