In 2017, VINISUD will continue to serve the sector’s stakeholders by creating tools to facilitate trade relations, offering new events and identifying future trends.
An essential event for international exhibitors and buyers
Amongst the commercial tools being offered, this year VINISUD has designed a programme of business activities to improve performance even further:
AN ONLINE TOOL DEVOTED TO facilitating contact between buyers and exhibitors for FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS at the stands
A PERSONAL WELCOME for buyers at the fair.
An international fair which adapts to market development
Amongst the innovations to benefit all visitors to the fair, VINISUD is introducing two new themed areas:
LA NOUVELLE VAGUE by VINISUD: destined for young winegrowers, it greatly assists in energising the sector and giving tomorrow’s stakeholders a more prominent place

VINISUD predicts future trends and puts in place the necessary tools to assess them:
In partnership with WINE INTELLIGENCE, VINISUD has created the first International Observatory of Mediterranean wines, reflecting the dynamism of Mediterranean wines throughout the world.
In collaboration with SOWINE and SSI, VINISUD has published an exclusive and highly instructive survey, carried out in London and New York, on the wine consumption trends of Millenials (21-35 year-olds).
1rst results of the surveys are available on the VINISUD Website: http://www.vinisud.com/en/presentation/market-info
