As the global bulk wine market seems to be normalising since the start of the year, after a challenging 2023; it is now time to book and benefit from EB rates for the #worldbulkwineexhibition 2024.

Good point Alison! With so many wineries and brands in total ‘survival mode’, I think it’s real easy to start chasing alternative routes to a P&L. Your point about the restaurants is potentially a great key, especially if wineries had greater access to collaboration with local restaurants. With 170,000+ new brand registrations in the last year, 80,000+ of them imported product, staying in business seems to be overshadowing the focus of being a great hospitality brand. I believe in creating experiential winery events highlighting the miraculous details of wine as the key to great hospitality eventing. A little food ‘to go with it’ is an accent or enhancement to the focus, not a focus of the brand.🛟🍷 #directtoconsumer #dtc #winemakersforum #wine #winery

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐈𝐍 𝐃𝐔̈𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐅 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 In the next few days it's time for ProWein 2024; a 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 for the fair which has been the undisputed leader of international wine fairs for years and which today must redeem itself, given the under-performing 2023 edition. According to many, in fact, 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 could become the new main international wine fair, thus replacing ProWein in Düsseldorf. The latter would consequently return to being mainly a fair for the 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 and would act as a privileged meeting point for numerous markets in Northern and Eastern Europe. The German fair will be held from 𝟏𝟎 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟐 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 and will once again see 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲 as the protagonist, with over 1,190 registered exhibitors, although down compared to previous editions; followed by France (743) and Germany (708).

| NEWS TASTYWINES MEETINGS | " Why do I prefer the conviviality of a business convention to a major trade show?

Top Tips for VINEXPO PARIS - Wear comfortable shoes and a jumper. Fully Booked - My diary is now completely full for the upcoming Wine Paris tradeshow. However, our winery partners would be very happy to meet you independently.... WHY & WHY SHOULD YOU? Oakley Wine Agencies work differently to most UK agents, by working for the wineries, rather than as stock-holding distributors. Your price, is the wineries direct price, if you are looking for exclusive direct wines, these can be found in our network of 29 wineries. 15 of whom, have stands at Wine Paris. WHO? Below is a chart with all of our Iberian wineries in attendance. They have got wines from North to South and East to West. Many have multiple regions under one roof. All are #sustainable producers, many are #minimalinterventionfarmers, several #organic options and all have passed the Nick Oakley quality & personality tests. WHAT NEXT? If anything jumps out, please get in contact and I will set up a meeting with you and the winery, and follow up the week after the show. Bon voyage!
