Fair Wines&Spirits devoted to visitors from gastronomy and to real connosseurs of wine and other good beverages.

Although, there is always room for improvement on the Fair, I think, we have succeeded to attract more and more professional visitors and so you have the opportunity to meet people, who are interested in buying the very best goods on the market for their gastronomucal facilities and who also estimate the quality of your products. The issue nowadays is the quality, not only the price. Each of you tries to show his best products and services on this biggest Fair of wines and spirits in , so that the Fire presents your prestige in the society and the range of your offers for the clients. It is an illustration of quality of your products and image of your firm. These both items are increasing and we all enjoy this fact.

Why to exhibit

Last several years of the Fair showed clearly the tendency of enlargement of imported products on our domestic market. The entry of Czech Republic to EU strengthened the feeling of secure investments for foreign products and facilitated the import of wines and spirits from the whole world. We can see the increasing number of foreign imported wines and the increasing number of direct foreign exhibitors, looking for the importers, distributors and direct representatives on the Fair. Our experiences show that each producer, importer, representative or retail merchant found a certain from corporation on the Fair, because a visit of the Fair is for professionals from gastronomy and businessmen an unique and complete opportunity how to increase their activity and to find new products. Because of increasing quality of domestic wines, it is absurd that the Czech and Moravian vintners should leave their firm position on the market. On the contrary, those who are watching their position, present new products, let them taste, are more and more successful. Such a competitive environment of foreign and domestic wines promotes the best that Fair can offer to the professional public.

Looking back to 2005

We enjoy hearing satisfactoins expressed by visitors and exhibitors. It could mean that everything is all right. However, we know that "nobody is perfect" and so we are ready even more to improve the professional attendance of the next Fair. The great interest os several countries to present their wines together was surprising ... It led to the organization of the Day of wines from Czech Republic, Day of wines from Portugal and Day of wines from Brazil. "Days" had good media coverage and brought out a series of articles in professional and daily press. "Days" were very successful and triggered a big interest for wines from these regions from the visitors. The Competition for the best wines of the fair obtained a prestigious status from Ministry of Agricultural, so that the achieved evaluations can be officially stated on the labels of victorious wines. The statistics figures from this year confirm the diagrams from the last year - more than 40% of visitors come from professional reasons, 85% of exhibitors are fully satisfied with the organization of the fair. The number of exhibitors rose to 291 (60 were the direcz exhibitors from abroad) and the total number of visitors rose to 15 800.
