About London International Wine Fair

No matter what area of the trade you work in, from US importer to UK sommelier, the London International Wine Fair will prove great for your business.

The focus of the Fair is very much on discovery: new wines and spirits, new producers, emerging countries and regions, new vintage releases, seminars, debates and masterclasses make LIWF the perfect trade event.

In all, some 35 countries show over 20,000 wines and spirits making the LIWF a unique trade-only tasting. Couple this with the dozens of other events taking place within Fair, and the LIWF becomes a fantastic opportunity.

LIWF is excellent for spotting market trends too. Buyers travel to London from all over the world to see what's happening in the UK where over 99% of all wine consumed is imported. Trends in the UK are often a great indicator as to what will happen in other international markets; LIWF leads the way for many international buyers.

And being strictly trade only, and free to visit, it's the reason why so many importers, retailers, restaurateurs and trade buyers travel to London. If wine and spirits are important to your profits, time spent at LIWF will reward for many months to come.

Visiting

Around 15,000 visitors from the UK and around the world use the Fair as a buying platform, to see what new wines are available and to research industry trends. It's perfect for:

-Importers

-Wine merchants

-Sommeliers

-Wholesalers

-Restaurateurs

-Producers

-Pub / bar managers
