20/10/2021

It’s that time of year again! 

In its fourth year, the 2021 International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show brings the very best in wine and spirits trade professionals together to explore the dynamic private label and bulk wine and spirits sectors. The 2021 IBWSS is the only opportunity in the United States to delve into one of the hottest global beverage trends of 2021 and beyond. 

Experts anticipate that the bulk beverage industry will continue its rapid growth for the next decade as wine and spirits consumption and production expand to include non-traditional wine varietals and styles, and new spirits types. The 2021 IBWSS Expo and Conference is your place to gain access to the most popular wine varietals including Tempranillo, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscat, to refresh your wine brand and improve your market share. Internationally sourced bulk wine alleviates climate volatility issues like unpredictable frost, hail, heat stress, and uneven ripening during harvest. Consumers are less terroir-driven in their purchases and more interested in wines that are concordant vintage after vintage. Private label wines expertly crafted from bulk wine supplies provide the consistency consumers seek.

If you are in the drinks trade, this is the conference for you. Mingle with 2500 attendees and dozens of the most influential adult beverage industry professionals in the business today. Rub shoulders with some of the industry’s most influential wine and spirits personalities, leaders, producers, writers, and sommeliers.
