And more top wineries from around the world

Another 100 top wineries spread out in the large concert hall. With 30 wineries from Germany, 24 from France and 18 from Italy, these three countries were the most represented. But also the best of their guild from Spain, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Australia and Switzerland had arrived for the annual summit meeting with the most renowned sommeliers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as leading wine merchants.

Big names

Well-known international wineries such as Château de Beaucastel, Krug Champagne, Álvaro Palacios, Roagna, Casanova di Neri, Henschke and Biondi-Santi were represented, as were the German winegrowing elite around Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, H. Dönnhoff, Rudolf Fürst and Van Volxem, to name just four examples.

All together, they provided magnificent wines, some of them extremely rare, of which only a few bottles are available on the market.
