ProWine Asia Set To Raise The Bar In Its Second Run This Year

The world's leading wines & spirits trade fair is back with more exhibitors, tasting sessions, masterclasses, workshops and seminars

Sommeliers, bartenders, industry specialists and fellow wine connoisseurs are in for a treat as Southeast Asia's largest trade fair for wines and spirits, ProWine Asia 2018, returns to the Singapore Expo for its second edition from 24 – 27 April 2018, raising the bar with a greater experience for all.

With 18 per cent more exhibition area (approximately 7,500 sqm), ProWine Asia 2018 will house 300 trade exhibitors from 30 countries and regions, a 16 per cent increase from 2016, and expects over 9,000 international trade attendees. The featured national pavilions include Austria, Catalonia, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Rioja, Singapore, and Spain. The event will provide attendees access to a diverse and focused international platform to tap into a thriving market and reach out to established wine producers and distributors.

ProWine Asia 2018, jointly organised by Messe Düsseldorf Asia and UBM, will also bring specialised masterclasses and seminars, tasting sessions and workshops by renowned industry speakers during the four-day event. Highlights include workshops on blind tasting, understanding different grades of sake, discovering whiskey, and seminars on Southeast Asian tropical viticulture and award-winning wines from the region.

Modelled after the world's largest, most important and trendsetting trade fair for the wines and spirits industry, ProWein in Düsseldorf, Germany, ProWine Asia looks forward to bringing the same sophistication, expertise and robust global offering of exhibitors to Singapore and Southeast Asia.

The Champagne Lounge

Returning to ProWine Asia, the Champagne Lounge will showcase the heritage and know-how of 12 Champagne Houses. Attendees can look forward to an intimate champagne experience with brand names such as Pierre Mignon, Cattier, Maxime Blin, Didier Chopin, and many more.

Besides unique insights into champagne, attendees will be able to choose and taste champagne wines according to their own preferences. Additionally, an oenologist will conduct classes about the Champagne region and offer professional advice on selecting champagnes.
