ProWein

🇵🇹 In the last few posts, we discovered that Kerstin Houf was travelling in Portugal. Her aim was to push ahead with the planning and discussion of ProWein 2025 and to maintain an intensive dialogue with the winemakers from Portugal. The Portuguese joint stand at this year's ProWein was also a complete success and gave visitors the feeling of being on a trip to Portugal. We are proud that so many countries are so strongly represented at ProWein and that we can therefore guarantee the internationality of the trade fair. 🌍🍇 #cheersprowein #prowein2025 #prowein2024 #winesofportugal #prowein #proweintradefair #winebusiness #wineprofessionals #winetasting #wineshop #winetrends #tradefair #winetrade #winecommunity #winetradefair #overseas #international #internationalexhibitors #exhibitors

Like Kerstin Houf, other colleagues travelled through Europe to make personal contact with the trade fair exhibitors and cultivate these relationships. 🌍🤝 Nicole Funke and Elena Cerana visited various wineries in the Abruzzo region of Italy and held important dialogue to prepare for ProWein 2025 and strengthen business relationships. 🇮🇹 The trip took them to wineries such as the Fantini Group, Citra Vini, Antonini, Cantina Tollo and Cantina Orsogna. These wineries produce high-quality wines and value ProWein as a central platform for international dialogue, initiating business contacts and presenting their products. The Abruzzo region is known for its high wine quality and traditional wine production. The autochthonous grape varieties Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano are particularly noteworthy and emphasise the diversity and uniqueness of the region. 🍷🌿 An exciting region that we can discover at ProWein 2025! #abruzzoregion #prowein2025 #cheersprowein #prowein #proweintradefair #winebusiness #wineprofessionals #winetasting #wineshop #winetrends #tradefair #winetrade #winecommunity #winetradefair #overseas #international #internationalexhibitors #exhibitors 

In the spotlight: Peter Hinkel, the German Young Winemaker of the Year 2023! 🍇🏆 We recently had the honour of meeting Peter Hinkel from the Dr. Hinkel winery in Framersheim in an interview at ProWein. His award as Young Winemaker of the Year by the DLG (German Agricultural Society) recognises his outstanding achievements and commitment to the German wine industry. The DLG actively promotes young talent through challenging competitions that include theoretical knowledge, practical skills and wine evaluations. This initiative contributes significantly to the further development and strengthening of our industry. At the upcoming ProWein, we look forward to meeting inspiring talents like Peter Hinkel and having a fruitful exchange about the future of viticulture. 💬 How can we work together to support and encourage the next generation of winemaking talent? Share your thoughts with us! #cheersprowein #prowein2025 #prowein2024 #germanwinemaker #interview #prowein #proweintradefair #winebusiness #wineprofessionals #winetasting #wineshop #winetrends #tradefair #winetrade #winecommunity #winetradefair #overseas #international #internationalexhibitors #exhibitors 

Successful days in Portugal! 🇵🇹 On the third day of her trip, our colleague Kerstin Houf spent valuable time in Porto. There she took part in important business meetings and expanded her knowledge of the rich history of Portuguese wine. 🍷 The direct exchange on site is invaluable. Maintaining international business contacts in person and understanding the cultural characteristics of the countries is crucial to our success and the successful planning of our trade fair. Such trips offer more than just business benefits - they provide deeper insights, promote intercultural dialogue and strengthen relationships with our international partners. In a globally networked world, it is essential to have a local presence and to know the stories behind the products. We are convinced that this approach leads to better business results and stronger partnerships in the long term. It's more than just business! #portugalwein #prowein2025 #cheersprowein #prowein #proweintradefair #winebusiness #wineprofessionals #winetasting #wineshop #winetrends #tradefair #winetrade #winecommunity #winetradefair #overseas #international #internationalexhibitors #exhibitors
