Quick moment at Vinexpo-Wine Paris, just for an afternoon to discover this new format event and catch some reviews.
First impression very positive: the location is ideal, accessible and visible.
The space is divided into two large halls, which requires an important and laborious work of badge scanning, each time you change from one to another one. But the most unfortunate thing is that regions are divided: Bordeaux finds itself on both sides. In the same way the Champagne is divided with the big houses in one part and on the floor the small producers. This had the effect of needing a specific approach and could break the prospection by regions.
Regarding the organization of the stands and the service during the event I did not find any false notes which is a very good thing and shows the quality of the organization. However, the fragmentation (again) of the tour guide with a front for Wine Paris and a back for Vinexpo required additional effort when looking for a particular producer. This gymnastics was constraining.
Otherwise there was an impressive and very interesting free tasting area!
