Press & News

OllyAt the last LIWF, some 350 members of the world's press visited the event. Due to the timing of the Fair, many exhibitors choose to launch new wines and new vintages with us, so there is always plenty to write about for trade and consumer journalists.

Facilities at the show include a fully prepared press office, where journalists can relax, hold meetings, or make use of the business facilities.
 

Press relations will be handled by two agencies for 2012:

Relish PR - UK trade press enquiries.

Complete Media Group - International press.
