Wine China 2010 Exhibition Are you interested in the huge potential of China’s wine market? Please come and join us at Wine China 2010! It’s an annual festival which is aimed to provide a face to face platform for wine producers, distributors, retailers, consumers and others interested in wine industry. Wine China 2010, approved by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and fully supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of China will be held in Beijing National Agricultural Exhibition Center during 23rd to 25th of April, 2010. It’s organized by CCPIT Sub-Council of Agriculture in partnership with Beijing Regalland Conventions & Exhibition Co, Ltd. China is a large country with an amazing potential of wine consumption. According to the latest study of IWSR (International Wine and Spirits Record), China has stepped into the top ten wine consumption markets in the world. The annual growth rate of imported wine is around 30%. The growth rate of Chinese wine production is half less than the growth rate of the wine importation. Without a doubt, the potential market for wine importation is huge. A series of activities have been devised to give you more opportunities to demonstrate your products, gain insight to Chinese market and close sales. As a professional trade promoting institution and exhibition service company, we not only provide pre-exhibition service, assistance during the exhibition and research after the event, but also serve as wine business consultant. After many years of experience, we have gathered plenty of data, and can surely help you find an effective solution. Website: www.wineculturechina.com |
