June 22: Messe Düsseldorf India, one of the leading trade fair Organizers in India, has announced expansion of its ProWein Education Campaign held in 2018 and 2019 to ProWine Mumbai, bringing together the Wine and Spirit fraternity to a major international event in Mumbai, according to a Press Release
ProWein, which takes place in Düsseldorf every year (2020 and 2021 cancellations notwithstanding, thanks to Covid), was the sponsor for these Campaigns in 2018 and 2019 in India. The positive response and great appreciation of the industry stakeholders at ProWein Educational Campaign coupled with the sector’s growth forecast prompted Messe Düsseldorf India to enhance the event into a fully-fledged trade fair with a comprehensive conference program, bringing together the Wine and Spirits industry in India in form of masterclasses, educational seminars and promotional activities.
ProWein Educational Campaign therefore, now becomes ProWine Mumbai and is scheduled on 17 - 18 November 2021 at The St. Regis Mumbai. ProWine Mumbai will be jointly organised by Messe Düsseldorf India and All Things Nice, a leading wine, spirits and luxury marketing consulting and events agency.

Trivia- Most of our viewers are perhaps already aware that ProWein, being a German event is spelt as Wein (German for wine) but when it is held outside, it is spelt in the English way as ProWine Asia, ProWine China, ProWine Hong Kong, ProWine São Paulo - and now ProWine Mumbai.
