VDP Weinbörse trade fair


Weinborse 2012 will take place on 29 and 30 April 2012 at the Rheingoldhalle in Mainz

 


The Prädikat Wine Estates (VDP) are well known for the spectrum of their wines, ranging from lively, fresh Gutsweine (house wines for everyday enjoyment) to top-quality wines from Germany’s best vineyards. Wine professionals will be able to take a first look at the wines of vintage 2011 during the ProWein trade fair in Düsseldorf, 4 - 6 March 2012, but the first comprehensive presentation of the new vintage will be 29 - 30 April at the VDP Weinbörse in Mainz.

The Height of Riesling Competence
The world’s largest trade fair for top-quality German wines – the VDP Weinbörse – opens its doors on 29 and 30 April 2012 in the Rheingoldhalle in Mainz. Some 165 VDP estates will be on hand to meet with their most important customers, i.e. the wholesale/retail trade, hospitality industry and exporters. This is the first comprehensive overview of the new vintage, during which the estates personally present their complete collection of 2011 wines, as well as debut a few wines (particularly, red wines) from the previous vintage. In all, more than 1,000 wines will be available for tasting. Compared with large, international trade fairs, such as ProWein or Vinexpo, the VDP Weinbörse offers a more intimate atmosphere and tasting conditions that wine pros appreciate. The distances from “region to region” or “estate to estate” are not great and it is easy for visitors to find their way. Above all, it’s possible to gain an overview of the finest young wines of Germany’s newest vintage in the course of two days.

Open to the trade only.
