Wine Innovation Forum: Tasting and Sharing Wine Cultures

The WIF explores the wine industry through three thematic presentations:
Geographic Origin: A look at the world’s main wine-producing regions with a special focus on regions with the greatest representation at the exhibition. For the 2010 edition of SIAL China, nine countries have been selected: Argentina, Portugal, China, South Africa, France, Spain, Italy, the United States and Australia.
