More than 1000 grades of wine were exhibited at the trade fair this year! Dry, special, flavored, sparkling "nectars" will give pleasure to connoisseurs and gourmets. One had an opportunity to learn about geographical features of grapes growing places; about esthetics and culture of wine consumption, and what is more important – learn to perceive magnificent flavor and taste bouquet. Besides whisky, brandy, tequila, cognac and other strong alcoholic drinks will be presented within the frames of the fair alongside with accessories: glasses, wine glasses, decanters, uncork items, screw caps and etc.
