A key market for industry growth

Irrespective of global wine production in a particular vintage, a large share of wine & spirits is produced without a label. Quality surplus, brand in development, or business models built on private-labelling, those actors of the bulk segment require a solution. This is what Word Bulk Wine Exhibition is all about: to provide producers with the best opportunity, at the right time.

In an ever-changing market, World Bulk Wine Exhibition serves a wide range of business models: from private labels for supermarkets, restaurants, celebrity labels to bottling destinations. WBWE is also a cross-segment catalyst offering a wide range of wines, spirits, low/no alcohol and organic products that reflect the consumer trends of today and tomorrow.

A critical time for ensuring a sucessful year

Wolrd Bulk Wine Exhibition owes its success to its impeccable timing – coming right after the world’s harvests, it allows attendees to taste wines often before anyone else. Coupled with the breadth and depth of the range of quality wines on offer, the convivial atmosphere of the exhibition in the heart of Amsterdam – a European capital city – make it the perfect destination.

"Many people are excited to visit Amsterdam and attend the World Bulk Wine Exhibition. For us, it's an enticing place to connect with our buyers. It also allows us to network with individuals in our existing network that we don’t often get to see in the United States. "
