The "Wine Paris" fair is recording a new record for 2025. A total of 4,600 exhibitors from 50 countries are expected in the French capital from February 10 to 12. In addition, the organizers currently anticipate 50,000 trade visitors from 140 states. In 2024, Wine Paris had already exceeded all expectations and increased its number of exhibitors by 20 percent to 4,074 companies. In February 2024, 41,253 visitors attended the fair. This was 14 percent more than in 2023.
For 2025, the booked area from some countries is even growing in double digits. For example, there are 65 percent more exhibitors from Germany than in the previous year. From Austria, there is an increase of 35 percent, from China 60 percent, from Spain 40 percent, and from Romania 75 percent. Italy will have its own pavilion again this year, which will be significantly larger than in 2024 due to the doubling of the number of exhibitors. South Africa, Argentina, Armenia, Chile, Hungary, North Macedonia, Uruguay, and Australia will be represented for the first time with joint stands.
"While the industry is experiencing profound geopolitical, economic, and ecological changes, the sixth edition will be strategically important to provide concrete and sustainable solutions for the entire value chain," said a statement from the organizer Vinexposium.
A special focus will also be on "Be Spirits," the area for spirits. According to the statement, this event will grow to over 200 producers, including 38 percent new participants and 30 percent international exhibitors from 27 countries (as of November 2024). In 2025, the range of NoLo beverages will also be expanded, and the areas for beer and cider will be increased.
