London International Wine Fair 2008
Thank you to all our exhibitors and visitors for making the recent London International Wine Fair and debut event, Distil such a success. A record 14,903 visitors attended over the three days.
Gearoid Devaney, head sommelier and wine buyer for the Tom Aikens group, commented, "The LIWF is still a very important event in the wine calendar because it gives the on-trade the opportunity to meet the winemakers and discover new horizons of the wine world."
Bojana Kosanovic, marketing manager for Oddbins and Nicolas UK added, "The LIWF is one of the most important events of the year for us as many of our suppliers and clients can all be found under one roof. It allows me to see a lot of key people that we work with in a short space of time".
There's plenty of information still to use and see on the site. For the first time we broadcast live footage from both events via the web so, if you missed it, just click on the Joe Live! link below. The List will also stay up and running throughout the year and provides an invaluable search tool for wines from around the world. As well as this, all of the briefing sessions are now available to download.
Next years dates for both the LIWF and Distil are 12-14 May 09.
Don’t miss the launch edition of Distil – the world’s first event dedicated to the business of spirits – which runs opposite the London International Wine Fair in ExCeL London.
