Premiere for the Wine Travel Awards

Wine tourism is a key sales-promoting and image-building channel for many vintners. In Germany alone wine tourism in the growing regions generated total annual sales of EUR 29.9 b in 2019 according to a study carried out by the DWI (German Wine Institute) and Geisenheim University. In combination with caravanning as a way of holiday making this opens up completely new perspectives. Particularly attractive is staying overnight right on the wine-growing estates – and many vintners have already responded to the increased demand by continuously adding motorhome pitches.

Matchmaking: “Dating App“ for wine and spirits professionals

The Covid restrictions of the past two pandemic years can now largely be dropped under current legal provisions. In concrete terms this means for the forthcoming ProWein from 15 to 17 May: the 2G and 3G restrictions and strict social distancing rules no longer apply. “After this long pandemic period the focus is now on a new departure because the signs of the time all point in the same direction – namely an active resumption of business life. International trade fairs play an essential key role here. Our additional hygiene and infection protection standards provide a high degree of protection on site and a sense of safety,” stresses Michael Degen, Executive Director at Messe Düsseldorf.

For the international professionals from specialist retail, food retail and the hotel, restaurant and catering sectors ProWein from 15 to 17 May 2022 is therefore the industry’s uncontested key event and ideal platform for networking and scouting new trends and products.

The wine sector looks positively at post-Covid times and bets on sustainability 

Commissioned by ProWein, late 2021 saw Geisenheim University survey experts representing the entire wine supply chain from 48 countries for the fifth time now. Participants in the survey include wine producers from the most important wine-growing countries in the old and new world, exporters, importers, specialist wine dealers as well as representatives from food service and hospitality. Following on from the unique “journey through time” undertaken with the market barometer for the international wine industry since 2017 this ProWein Business Report rates the importance of challenges facing the sector after two years of pandemic.

New dates from 15. to 17. May 2022

Messe Düsseldorf postpones ProWein in consultation with the partners and associations involved from 15 to 17 May 2022. In view of the currently very dynamic infection patterns and the rapid spread of the Omicron variant the event originally planned for the period from 27 to 29 March 2022 can no longer be kept.

Still some three months to go – until ProWein in Düsseldorf at last opens its doors for the first physical event again after three years. The entire wine and spirits industry will focus on the 13 exhibition halls on the Rhine from 27 to 29 March. ProWein 2022 will present to the tune of 5,500 exhibitors – including the international market leaders, importers/exporters, commercial agents, select vintners or the regional growing regions – thereby again offering a unique international line-up.
