At 11:30am, we’ll be hosting a panel discussion on ‘adding value through sustainability for the UK wine industry’. Joining us will be Sue Daniels, M&S Winemaker and Senior Technologist; Luke Harbor, Group Beverage Director at The Pig Hotels; Ruth Simpson, Co-Founder of Simpsons’ Wine Estate; and Patrick Schmitt MW, Editor-in-Chief of The Drinks Business.

Themed tasting tables

1. WineGB Awards Trophy Winners

The cream of the crop from this year’s WineGB Awards, which saw a record number of entrants and Gold medals given. This year, trophies went to wines produced in 13 different counties, so buckle up for a vinous tour of the UK.

2. Lower Alcohol Wines: 12.5% ABV and below

Many of the wines produced in England and Wales have naturally lower levels of alcohol. As consumers increasingly yearn for fresher styles of wine without the punch, try some of the best examples that are 12.5% ABV and below.

3. New Classics?

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus and Seyval Blanc may be our most planted varieties, but there’s many more to explore. The UK is home to over 90 different varieties, with 51 varieties planted in the last year alone. We now have 30 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and growing volumes of Albariño and Gamay, while hybrids now account for 8% of total plantings. From the other Pinots and our heritage varieties to new PIWI grapes and global giants, as our industry evolves, will any of them become new classics?

4. New Releases

Want to know what’s new in English and Welsh wine? Here you’ll find this year’s latest launches, including first releases from up-and-coming vineyards to the latest developments from well-known producers. Taste the trends fresh off the press.

5. Sustainable Wines

Explore our sustainable stars from producers going the extra mile to demonstrate their environmental credentials. Taste through a selection of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain (SWGB) certified wines and others beginning their journey in The Green Room, sponsored by Marks and Spencer.
