The second essay of the ProWein Education Campaign is slated to take place at the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC), Mumbai, between September 18 and 20, 2019. It will be held in association with All Things Nice and WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust), and will offer visitors to Food and Hotel India (FHI) tastings, workshops, discussion forums and presentations on wines and spirits. ProWein is the world’s leading trade fair for wine and spirits.
All Things Nice and WSET have curated the masterclasses at the ProWein Education Campaign (the registration for which commences at 10am). All Things Nice is one of the leading marketing and consulting agencies for wine and spirits in India. A close cooperation has existed with WSET for many years in the area of education, especially as part of ProWein China in Shanghai.
The programme of the ProWein Education Campaign specifically addresses Indian wine importers, professionals from the HoReCa (hotel, restaurant and cafe) segment, sommeliers, wine and spirits experts, writers and professionals from the wine and spirits trade.
Last year’s event included a seminar on the theme of cognac, a blind tasting of Indian and international wines, a lecture on the perfect wine venue and a panel discussion on HR matters in the hospitality industry. This year too, the organisers have planned events revolving around sensory and aromatic themes as well as wine and culinary offers.
