After three years of robust growth, the event continues to gain traction with over 4,600 exhibitors from 50 producer countries and 50,000 visitors from 140 countries due to attend. Hosted by Vinexposium, the exhibition has now achieved unprecedented international scope, securing its position as a unique global nexus for business and a tool for economic and political influence.
As the industry faces fundamental geopolitical, economic and environmental change, the sixth Wine Paris exhibition promises to provide a strategic response through practical, sustainable solutions for the entire industry.
The global industry rallies around Wine Paris 2025
Once again, Wine Paris has received the endorsement of producers from across the globe, giving the 2025 exhibition unparalleled international reach. Three halls are entirely dedicated to the 50 producer countries represented, with double-digit growth in floor space for several countries, including Germany (+65%), Austria (+35%), China (+60%), Spain (+40%), Portugal (+31%) and Romania (+75%). Italy has once again doubled its exhibition area and is all-set to host 30 regional pavilions in an entire hall (Hall 6).
The exhibition will also welcome numerous new international pavilions: South Africa, Argentina, Armenia, Chile, Hungary, North Macedonia, Uruguay and, most notably, Australia, which is increasing its exhibition space four-fold in 2025.
As the event’s backbone, French attendance is due to grow with a 7% increase in the country’s producer numbers. Gathered in Hall 7, all of France’s generics will be attending.
Be Spirits, the place to be for all spirits from around the world
The global spirits industry is extremely bullish, driven by increased demand for diversity and quality. Be Spirits will be its showcase.
As an event within the event, Be Spirits will welcome distributors, barmen and experts from across the globe with over 200 producers – including 38% newcomers and 30% international attendees from 27 countries (as of 8 November) – at its core. 47 types of spirits (Armagnac, baiju, brandy, Calvados, Cognac, gin, malt, mezcal, pastis, rum, sake, soju, tequila, umeshu, vermouth, vodka, etc.) will be on display.
In 2025, the No/Low drinks range will be expanding (+50% producers registered to date), mirroring new consumption patterns (de-alcoholised spirits, RTDs, etc.) whilst the floor space taken up by beers and ciders will increase. Last but not least, the Infinite Bar, with its 20 bars spanning over 40 metres, promises to offer a unique feast for the eyes and reveal the creativity of the top mixologists.
“In times of great uncertainty, economic crisis and loss of meaning, isolationism is not an option,” says Rodolphe Lameyse, CEO of Vinexposium. “By combining strengths and fostering innovation, engagement among all industry stakeholders and links between the economic and political arenas we can leverage solutions.
“Over the years, Wine Paris has carved out a place for itself in everyone’s minds around the globe as a vital source of influence, a catalyst for thought processes, a mirror to trends and a driving force for the entire industry. More than ever before, the 2025 exhibition will play a crucial role for all national and international stakeholders in the wine and spirits industry.”
