More than 1,000 wine experts from 50 different countries were invited to attend the showcase, and feedback from guests showed strong enthusiasm for Austrian wine, organisers said.

“We have had to wait four long years – but it was well worth the wait!” said Chris Yorke, CEO of Austrian Wine. “Our winegrowers were able to showcase themselves perfectly and every one of our international partners was blown away by the wines, the atmosphere and the organisation of the fair. I have to thank everyone who helped make this wonderful celebration of Austrian wine possible!”

“This year’s VieVinum was incredibly important and a big win! There was a really positive dynamic wherever you went at the fair. This is sure to help increase appreciation of the work of our winegrowers and to boost demand for their wines around the world,” Yorke added.

The VieVinum has been the key platform for the success of Austrian wine exports since 1998. This year’s very successful fair means that there is a good chance we can expect a new export sales record in the near future.”

A week prior to VieVinum Austrain winegrowers and the Austrian Wine body were present at ProWein in Dusseldorf, to meet international business contacts.
