WORLD BULK WILD EXHIBITION 2017 The World Bulk Wine Exhibition is the most important wine fair worldwide in terms of business transactions focusing 85% of the global supply for bulk wine. It is a business forum for international wine purchasers and suppliers on neutral ground in Amsterdam every year in the month of November. A unique place to share the great quality and variety of bulk wine with leading international importers. 220 exhibitors from countries as diverse as Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, China, France, Georgia, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand, Malaysia, Moldavia, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States presented their wines to more than 6.000 visitors with 66 different nationalities, who attended the fair with a common main objective: TO DO BUSINESS. However, the importance of the World Bulk Wine Exhibition is not just expressed in the number of participating winemakers, but in the sheer amount of wine that is transacted and in the turnover generated at the fair. It is in terms of volume that the WBWE has become the largest show in the world devoted to bulk wine commercialization. The World Bulk Wine Exhibition is the trade fair, where every second counts, because it is exclusively devoted to wine professionals and it is entirely focused on making business. The ninth WBWE will be held on the 20 th and 21 st of November at the Amsterdam s RAI, the place where, for the last eight years, the main producers and wine buyers worldwide have gathered for two days of intense commercial trade.

This is a unique occasion to taste the entire world s wine production in a single day. The WBWE provides a wide range of bulk wines and bag-inbox, ranging from wines with designation of origin or protected geographical indication to wines with varietal denomination, as well as generic wines destined for blends or intended to elaborate sparkling wines or aromatized wines, such as vermouth. Such diversity in the supply and the capacity of multiple sales contracts, as well as packaging agreements (both at origin or destination), confers a rare exclusivity to this exhibition.
INTERNATIONAL BULK WINE COMPETITION The International Bulk Wine Competition, the only competition in the world that was conceived to promote this type of wine and to guarantee transparency and a better knowledge of the quality of bulk wines. The IBWC was also created with the aim of bringing to light the virtues of bulk wine among consumers and international distributors, dignifying its consumption and rewarding the efforts of its makers.
