Dear Producer,
CORRECTION BOOKING: PROWEIN DÜSSELDORF, 13-15 March 2016
ProWein is and remains the world’s leading trade fair for wine professionals. Wines of South Africa will be returning to Dusseldorf, Germany in March 2016 to exhibit at ProWein. According to the Messe Dusseldorf South Africa will remain in Hall 9 at the Northern entrance which is situated close to the Tram line. In 2015 a total of 82 South African wineries presented their wines on the three Wines of South Africa pavilions, totalling nearly 600 square metres. In 2015, 52 000 trade visitors travelled to ProWein in Düsseldorf, an increase of 7% compared to last year. Of these, around 47% were international trade visitors from 123 countries. The increase in visitors was mainly due to the increased number of buyers from the USA/Canada, and Central and South America. Please find below the link to a fair profile of the show in 2015;
