It's often been said that the London International Wine Fair is the single most important event in the world wine calendar.

For importers, merchants, producers, agents, restaurateurs, wholesalers, sommeliers, in fact everyone whose work bringsthem in direct contact with wine, no other event offers the same opportunity to taste, meet with suppliers and winemakers and get down to business as the LIWF.

For visitors, the Fair can be hugely beneficial. The opportunity to meet with over 1,200 exhibitors from every major producing country all in one place, and to taste the new vintage in a relaxed but professional environment, saves time and money.From UK independent wine merchants, to Scottish restaurant owners, to Swedish monopoly buyers, the London Wine Fair is the best place to find new suppliers, niche labels, new ideas and genuine opportunity. And being a strictly trade-only event, it's focused purely on building you a better business.

We greatly look forward to seeing you at the Fair in May.
