June 20th 2023, in Le Village by CA in Reims (Marne, France)
Sparkling Wine Forum is an exhibition conference that wants to act as a link between the field of research and that of economic development and innovation at all levels of the sparkling wine industry. It is a professional event aimed at sparkling wine producers, companies in the sector, oenologists, project managers, trade press, etc.
It intends to bring together the innovations developed around the world at the service of the sparkling wine supply chain and share them with the various players in the local network of the region hosting the conference.
Sparkling Wine Forum is an event created on the initiative of EFFEVENT, to position Champagne as an international crossroads of know-how and excellence for the entire sparkling wine sector. It is organized in collaboration with VINIDEA, an Italian company specialised in training and continuing education for professionals in the wine sector.
The first edition of Sparkling Wine Forum intends to respond to the current concerns of the players in the sparkling wine chain on the topic of “How can sparkling wines cope with climate change?” by proposing several conferences and targeted talks by researchers from Champagne but also from other sparkling wine areas in France and abroad, with contributions from the companies in the sector that are most active on the innovation front.
The various speeches will cover the entire value chain of the sparkling wine industry: from viticulture and the environment to oenology and the expectations of marketing and consumers.
All presentations will be translated into English or French and will be filmed to be later accessible.
