just-drinks LIWF 2013 – Diary – 2 May

Coming up at this year’s London International Wine Fair:

• Copestick Murray (Stand N28) returns to the LIWF for the third consecutive year. Alongside its key partners, the agency will display its ‘i heart’ brand, which now comprises nine SKUs and two limited editions. Also on the stand will be Vintae and Bodegas Paniza from Spain, Overhex from South Africa, Prosecco Follador from the Veneto in Italy and Wickham Hill, a new Australian venture led by Rodney Morrish and Craig Thomas.

• Smurfit Kappa (Stand H31) will showcase its Pouch-Up range of flexible packaging at the exhibition. Available in single- and double-gusset and in several sizes, the Pouch-Up has been designed with cocktails in mind. The company will offer tastings of the mojito, pinacolada and the cosmopolitan in PouchUp packaging on the Tuesday (21 May).
• Kingsland Wines & Spirits and Legacy Wines (stand O30) will host a dual-branded stand that will focus on both Kingsland Wines in its capacity as a bulk wine supplier in the UK, and Legacy Wines, its brand and agency division.
