vert-de-vin-vinipro-bordeaux (1)Some would say “another … one more!”. Yes and no. While the principle of business lounge will not be a revolution in the sector and a small portion of the properties that will be present at the show are already on other shows. But what characterizes. what gives the “added value” of this show is that it is 100% dedicated to the wines of Bordeaux / French Southwest and as it offers a more reasonable cost for growers it allows many “modest” properties to participate (finally some visibility for small wineries!).

For those who say that the best to say these things are the organizers and do not wish to paraphrase I present to you the press release announcing the creation of this new lounge Bordeaux-Vinipro:
