Wine Paris 2025 has cemented its status as the world's premier wine and spirits event. Held over three days, the event drew a record-breaking 52,622 visitors, 45% of whom were international, representing 154 countries.

In a challenging global economic and political climate marked by political instability, declining consumption, and environmental concerns, industry professionals found Wine Paris to be a vital source of inspiration and influence for the future of the wine and spirits industry.

A Hub of Influence

Over the past six years, Vinexposium has evolved into a leading force in economic and political influence. The event's opening ceremony was attended by numerous ministers, politicians, members of parliament, senators, and over 30 official foreign delegations.

Wine Paris has proven its ability to unite industry stakeholders around highly specialized content. This year's event saw record attendance at its various events and conferences.

Key highlights included the FEVS press conference, which unveiled the 2024 wine and spirits export results; the OIV press conference, which provided updates on international wine trade; Moët Hennessy's round table discussions on policies supporting agro-ecological transition and regenerative viticulture practices; and the Wine Origins Alliance conference, which focused on the industry's collective efforts to eliminate barriers to wine trade.

The Academy program hosted 250 international experts and featured 130 sessions.

Vinexposium's standing as a leader in the wine and spirits industry is further reinforced by Voice of the Industry, its analytical platform dedicated to the challenges facing the sector.
