I still think ProWein is the best wine fair in the world cause all the world is at ProWein

Over 6,900 exhibitors of wines and spirits were registered for 25th ProWein. They represented 64 different nations, with the exhibition space clearly structured between ten different exhibition halls based on winegrowing country and region. No other event offers a comparable scale and scope. The largest exhibitor nations at ProWein 2019 were Italy (1,654) and France (1,576), followed by Germany (978), Overseas (600), Austria (335), Spain (661) and Portugal (387). From Slovenia around 25. An organic wine area with roughly 300 exhibitors. There were also an additional 400 providers of spirits.

A tasting zone with the winning wines from MUNDUS VINI – where I tasted a lot of wines. This area is great because in one place you can taste winning wines from all of the world. It would be cool if at ProWein would be more winning wines from example Concours Mondial de Bruxelless or Decanter.

A total of 61,500 industry visitors (2018: 60,500) from the retail and restaurant/catering businesses. As such, ProWein 2019 once again achieved attendance growth. The visitors traveled from 142 countries (2018: 133 countries).

Also many individual events at the exhibitors' stands and the ProWein Forum; trend topics such as ""Wines from High Elevations," "Wine in Cans," the comeback of "Field Blends" // cuvee and of course the Packaging & Design special exhibition. Definitely a lot thing to learn, explore! I still think ProWein is the best wine fair in the world cause all the world is at ProWein
