Negative rumors plagued Bernice Liu (廖碧兒) after her former relationship with Moses Chan(陳豪) was brought to the public spotlight in 2010. Although the couple had quietly broken up in 2008, Bernice was accused for cheating on Moses Chan with wealthy heir, Alastair Lam (林忠豪), who later admitted in a 2012 radio interview that he once dated her. Nonetheless, Bernice managed to brush aside the media scrutiny and focused her career efforts in mainland China. The Miss Chinese International winner, who has been studying cultivating fine wine since 2008, has made investments in the wine market and recently opened up her own French vineyard. New love may also be brewing for Bernice. A Hong Kong tabloid magazine reported that Bernice is currently seeing the wealthy French sommelier Jean-Charles Cazes, who manages the family business Chateau Lynch-Bages, a winery based in Bordeaux, France. Bernice was spotted attending a Chateau Lynch-Bages wine banquet in Hong Kong a few days ago. Cazes was seen introducing Bernice to his guests and business partners. When the dinner ended, he accompanied Bernice to the entrance and stayed with her while she waited for her ride. Before she left, Cazes hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. Bernice has been frequently flying back and forth from Hong Kong to France. In a phone interview yesterday, Bernice admitted that she was in France for work. Bernice maintained that she and Cazes are only good friends, but she did not deny the possibility of being in a relationship with him in the future. “No one knows what will happen in the future. Right now, my focus is my work.” Bernice added, “His knowledge of red wine is extensive. I have learned a lot. As for the kiss, that is French etiquette. It was a goodbye kiss.” Creds: Oriental Daily
