PROGRAMME
VINEXPO 2019:
THE “HEAD
AND HEART”
EXHIBITION…
AND RESOLUTELY
INTERNATIONAL
Asked to sum up Vinexpo, Vinexpo’s new chief
executive officer, Rodolphe Lameyse was very
clear: “It’s a ‘head and heart’ exhibition”.
Head – because there is a strong business aspect
which has always been the case since the beginnings
of the show. But it’s also the information that can
be gathered thanks to the Vinexpo symposium,
which this year spotlights climate change.
Heart – because there is an “extra” programme
which is absolutely incredible, with tastings at a
very high level.
The show is at the same time 100% business and
100% international. Indeed, it’s a case of travelling
“around the world in four days”. Four days to
travel the world of wines and spirits, meet the
key decision-makers, do business, discuss the
strategic challenges the industry faces and enjoy
an immersive experience surrounded by the most
prestigious vineyards.
Buyers from the world over come to Vinexpo
Bordeaux to taste and order products. Row after row
of producer countries exhibit the wealth and variety
of the world’s wines and spirits. All of France’s
regions are there. International corporations sit
side-by-side with smaller, family enterprises. Wine
and spirits brands from South Africa, Austria,
Georgia, Portugal, Germany, Italy, the UK, the US,
Sweden, Turkey, Lebanon, Vietnam and China offer
tastings of their ranges. Where else can you taste
a New Zealand Chardonnay then a South African
Chardonnay within a few steps of each other,
before moving on to a Malbec or to appreciate the
skill behind the Bordeaux blends?
Bringing the wine and spirits world to you in one
place – like no other. That’s Vinexpo 2019.
