Coming up at this year’s London International Wine Fair:
- The Austrian Wine Marketing Board (Stand G10/ H10) will host a series of themed wine tastings and seminars at this year’s LIWF. On all three days, between 0930 and 1300 (but starting at 1030 on the Monday), the trade body will host ‘Grüner Veltliner, Riesling & Co – Whites from Austria’. And, on all three afternoons, from 1400 to 1730, ‘Austrian Reds & Sweet Wines’ will be considered. Nine wine producers will present their wares on the board’s stand. For further information, contact Susanne Staggl at AWMB at info@austrianwine.com.
- Located within the ‘French Zone’ at the exhibition, Fast-Track to France (Stand E20/1) will feature a selection of French wines from LIWF exhibitors. This self-service tasting area is designed as a shortcut for visitors keen to get an overview of the French offering at the Fair. For more information, contact Gersende Pommery at gersende.pommery@sopexa.com.
- GCF Exclusif (Stand L50) will feature wines from three different regions, one per day of the wine fair. The on-trade arm of Les Grands Chais de France will highlight Alsace wines on Monday, Bordeaux wines on Tuesday and Loire wines on Wednesday. An on-stand chef will create tapas-style snacks, using ingredients and recipes from the three regions, to complement the styles of wines on offer. For further details, contact Chris Skyrme at chris.skyrme@sopexa.com.
- Wine Intelligence will host a briefing on the Wednesday morning, looking at the “mavericks” of the drinks industry. Comprising five sessions, ‘Meet the Mavericks’ runs from 0930 to 1400 on 22 May and features Tyler Balliet, the founder of Wine Riot and Second Glass, Rich Walker, MD of Shadow, Roboticist, and Sarah Warman who handles digital marketing and events at BrewDog. Tickets for the presentation, which takes place at the industry briefings theatre (Q75), cost GBP75 plus VAT.
