It might still be a few months away but if you are looking to exhibit and take part in the inaugural International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show in London in February 2018 then it’s time to act now if you want to take advantage of early bird booking rates.

IBWSS is an established brand in the US offering a key networking and sales platform for producers, wine brokers, importers, distributors and retailers looking to get their share of the growing bulk wine market.

But as the role of bulk and bottled in market has grown in the UK, now thought to be responsible for somewhere close to 70% of all wine sold in the country, the time is right for IWBSS to hold its first event in London.

How you can use bulk wine to unlock new revenue streams will be one of the focal points of the exhibition and conference that will take place at the Royal Horticultural Halls between February 26-27.

It is expected to attract interest from across Europe and provide a stage for those involved in the bulk wine industry to better understand the needs from retailers, importers, bottlers and senior wine buyers.
