Vinexpo on 2009: the balance sheet

In spite of a morose financial status, Vinexpo could once again show the interest. Balance sheet of five days in the middle of the international Living room of the wine and of spirits.

A fall of company
Vinexpo on 2009, which took place from Sunday, 21 till Thursday, June 25th in the Park of exhibitions of Claret lake, saw the paths milled by 46 621 visitors. The upper figure in estimates made by the organizers upstream of the living room but inferior in the last session in 2007, is a fall of 7,5 % company.

Less world therefore of business
Fall of company, yes, but no business. Indeed, it is the small purchasers - cellarmen, restaurateurs, importing babies, - that did not make displacement. The important quant-à-eux actors, and even if teams on place were reduced, were outright present. So, the total business generated during Vinexpo 2009 should be, according to many stands with which we discussed, identical in 2007. A good indicator which shows the good health of the sector. Les acteurs importants quant-à-eux, et même si les équipes sur place ont été réduites, ont bel et bien été présents. Ainsi, le business global généré lors de Vinexpo 2009 fût, selon les nombreux stands avec lesquels nous nous sommes entretenus, identiques à 2007. Un bon indicateur qui montre la bonne santé du secteur.

Nice discoveries
In the centre of the foyer 3, that where spirits are in monopoly, hid two nicer discoveries of Vinexpo, on the stand of EuroWineGate: The Mind of June and Excellia Reposado. Then, other novelties held our attention: Walders, liqueur of Acérola Joseph Cartron, Angel Dust Rosé or else Purity Vodka. Ensuite, d’autres nouveautés ont retenu notre attention : Walders, liqueur d’Acérola Joseph Cartron, Angel Dust Rosé ou encore Purity Vodka.
