Show News

LIWF Announce Plans for 2014
A new direction for the London International Wine Fair has been announced for 2014. The changes are a result of several months lobbying the UK wine industry – including current and past exhibitors – to establish their requirements for a national show. The changes will see the show go back to its roots as the “London Wine Fair”, the national wine event for the world’s leading import market; essentially, Britain’s festival of wine.
FIFA World Cup Wine launched by Brazil at Fair
With the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016 the eyes of the world will be on Brazil. The economy is strong, the wine industry is established and family-based, producers are investing in export. There is UK stock via established agencies and there are producers looking for partners.
The Robots are Coming!
Could a better understanding of robotics help the UK wine trade solve its problems? It’s a mind-boggling concept. Automated assistants in wine shops, perhaps, which identify you by your retina and sense your mood by the pheromones you’re emitting? Perhaps a device that allows you to remove plastic stoppers without risking a rupture?
Winestars World to Expand at LIWF
Global wineries looking to sell in the UK market, will again compete for millions of pounds of business, with winners being plucked from obscurity, to land in the spotlight of leading UK buyers, at Winestars World's LIWF 2013 Wine Competition.

LIWF launches MyWineFair
The LIWF has launched a new initiative for 2013, MyWineFair, which provides tailored programmes, connecting visitors with exhibitors at the LIWF, based around an online database of wines to be exhibited. An evolution of “The List” which was launched in 2008, MyWineFair is an online tool whereby visitors search for wines by various criteria (including producer, variety, price point, country) in advance of the Fair in order to create a usable, personalised list. Improved functionality sees MyWineFair incorporated in the new LIWF app, allowing visitors to search the wine library, see which Masterclasses and Industry Briefings are being held and to fully tailor their visit to the LIWF.
Wine Faults Workshop at LIWF
REDUCTION – less flavour, fewer fans... It’s often hard to put a finger on why a wine loses it’s ‘zing’..... difficult to identify reductive aromas, the tell-tale sign that what’s in the bottle has dulled. But what is ‘reduction? How is it caused? And how can you spot it – at different stages?
China to exhibit for first time at LIWF
China to exhibit wine for the first time at LIWF 2013 Chinese wine will be represented at this year’s London International Wine Fair for the first time.

Brintex Announces Plans for 2013
Brintex, the organiser of the London International Wine Fair, has announced a series of new initiatives for 2013 to reinvigorate the show and with a focus on UK businesses. A key goal is to ensure the Fair becomes a 'must attend' event for the core UK domestic visitor sectors, namely: the on-trade; independent retailer; wholesaler; multiple buyer and key influencer, and that visiting the show is directly beneficial to their business.
LIWF Moves to Monday
Brintex, organiser of the LIWF and Distil, has announced that the 2013 show will now take place from 20th to 22nd May, incorporating Monday for the first time. The ExCeL-based show will run across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, instead of Tuesday to Thursday as a result of extensive research and feedback from both visitors and exhibitors over the summer.

Peter Richards MW will be selecting his wines for next week’s Saturday Kitchen at the LIWF, for the first time. Filming of the popular food and drink programme, which has an audience of around two million, is set to take place at The Fair next Wednesday. Peter is remaining tight-lipped about his final selection, but has been tasked with finding matches for José Pizarro’s deep fried chicken wings ‘al ajillo’ and Kenny Atkinson’s soused mackerel.
Beaujolais at the LIWF

Winestars
Winestars World (www.winestarsworld.co.uk) is a global competition to identify the world's 100 most promising wineries/products from wineries currently with no access to the UK market). It is a vehicle, a platform for breaking down the old agency model and for the UK to have access to new and interesting wines. Most importantly, Winestars World will provide the fastest, most transparent, route to market for wine producers, giving them a chance to show their wines in a state-of-the-art format that optimises information, media and social networks in order to create opportunities, huge awareness and for the best, to gain listings.

LIWF Conference 2012
London will play host to some of the world’s key influencers at the annual LIWF Conference on Monday, 21st May at ExCeL. With an over-arching theme of global future trends, the summit will focus on how today’s issues can impact wine businesses and influence future direction. Featuring an international panel of speakers drawn from wine and finance, the conference will tackle key issues facing the trade in today’s uncertain economic climate.
Wine Market Stronger with LIWF
Brintex, the organisers of the LIWF, believes that the UK industry is more than worthy of hosting a world-class wine trade event such as the London International Wine Fair. The UK remains an extremely important trading nation to many of the world’s producers and as a country without any bias towards wine provenance, its unique position will always lend itself to staging an exciting trade event designed to stimulate business and growth.
