As the pressure on sourcing good quality, but good value wine and spirits from around the world intensifies, the role of bulk and bottled in market wine and spirits is only going to get bigger for both the on and off-trades. A new landmark conference, The International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show, is coming to London in January to shine the light on this crucial sector and is already attracting big name industry figures to appear.

IBWSS promises to help changing on-trade sector better understand the opportunities and benefits of bulk and bottled in market wine and spirits.

Some of the first keynote panellist and speakers have been announced for what will be the first International Bulk Wine and Spirits Show (IBWSS) to be held in Europe when it looks to bring the trade together to discuss the huge commercial opportunities that now exist for bottled in market in wines in London on February 26-27, 2018.

The event, organised by the American drinks publishing, marketing and B2B networking platform, the Beverage Trade Network, has previously being held in the US, but such is the importance of bulk wine and spirits not just in the UK but in central and Eastern Europe that it is to host its 2018 conference and exhibition at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London.

Sid Patel, chief executive of the Beverage Trade Network and organiser of IBWSS said: “It is time, we made a private label and bulk trade a norm. London being the most important market for private label and bulk trade, we decided to make London our host city for Europe.”

He added: “The UK is one of the leading store-owned and private label markets, so it was a no brainer that we provide the platform to connect these buyers to top class suppliers from all over the world who are ready to offer private label services and understand what it takes in being a private label supply partner and help the buyer build their brand.”
