November 4th – Four months before the start of ProWein 2023, wine and spirits professionals can already obtain an overview of the global ranges awaiting them at the world’s largest and most relevant trade fair for wines and spirits in Düsseldorf, Germany. At www.prowein.com, the who’s who of the sector will be listed starting middle of November. Until the start of the trade fair on March 19, 2023 the exhibitor database will be gradually filled with the key data of the over 6,000 vintners, joint participations, importers and exporters, spirits and craft-beer suppliers. Company profiles, corporate data, product and press information will also be uploaded by the exhibitors to the database – providing the ideal digital platform to perfectly organize a ProWein visit.

Addressing current trends & topics
ProWein would not be so successful if it did not pick up current topics and address them in form of trend shows, special shows and event forums. These will include:
- New at ProWein 2023 will be the “World of Zero” in Hall 1 focusing on the “non-alcoholic” topic. National and international exhibitors will present their wines and spirits – their ranges will be completed by a tasting zone.
- The “0% proof” theme has already been addressed by the two trend scouts Paula Redes Sidore and Stuart Pigott during the Trend Hour Tastings at ProWein 2022. In 2023, the topics will include “Tetrapack, Lightweight Bottles & Co”, “#kabilove and the New Freshness in Wine” as well as “The World of Organic Wines”.
- Trendshow same-but-different: Consisting of more than 120 exhibitors in Hall 7.0, this has been a highlight for the world of craft spirits, craft beer and cider for years. Its success formula and trademark are the special character and unique atmosphere.
- “Champagne Lounge” in Hall 9: this combination of a central tasting zone alongside individual exhibitors (about 120 Champagne producers) will provide a special added value for visitors.
- Hall 5 will stand out with two topics: the organic area & the “Organic World” as well the Special Show “Packaging & Design”.
- Also part of ProWein 2023 will again be the two ProWein Forums in Hall 13 and Hall 10 where exhibitors will present their highlights.
