The International Bulk Wine Competition is used by buyers to assess and determine who are the best suppliers of bulk wine in key markets around the world. You can enter this year’s competition here.
In the deeply competitive world of bulk wine, where a couple of cents here and there can make all the difference, being able to prove you have a quality wine to sell is what makes the International Bulk Wine Competition such an important benchmark on which buyers are increasingly judging wines against.

Following the emergence of the Covid-19 virus early last year, 2020’s packed trade show calendar collapsed as governments around the world restricted travel and locked down entire countries, meaning the hospitality sector was forced to close its doors.

After the first-ever digital edition of the World Bulk Wine Exhibition, its organisers believe getting ahead in online business and communication is critical.
This year’s digital edition of the WBWE Exhibition, called WBWE Connect, took place from 23 November to 4 December.
Organisers stressed that while the platform was “extremely new” and had a “long road ahead for improvements”, its first outing had been “useful and important in order to asses its future”.
Using the technology, around 100 wineries from 13 different countries were able to connect with importers, purchasing managers and distributors, conducting more than 30 meetings a day.
