< PreviousBrintex, the organisers of the show, say the UK industry ismore than worthy of hosting a world-class wine trade event suchas this. The UK remains an extremely important trading nationto many of the world’s producers and as a country without anybias towards wine provenance, its unique position will alwayslend itself to staging an exciting trade event designed tostimulate business and growth.The fair will also be treating two hundred top UK sommeliersas VIPs. Each of these sommeliers – including MasterSommeliers, those working at Michelin-starred restaurants, aswell as those identified as rising stars of the future – will be givenspecial treatment, including a pre-paid Oyster Card to facilitatetravel to ExCeL, an invitation to Gerard Basset’s Masterclass on“Sommelier Competitions: Why? And how to win them”, aninvitation to the exclusive Union des Grand Cru de Bordeaux2010 Tasting and an invitation to the Sommelier DrinksReception which will take place in the MyWineFair Hub on theMonday, which features medal winners from the InternationalBeer Challenge.The LIWF has also launched a new initiative for 2013.MyWineFair, an app which provides tailored programmes,connects visitors with exhibitors at the LIWF, based around anonline database of wines to be exhibited. An evolution of TheList which was launched in 2008, MyWineFair is an online toolwhereby visitors search for wines by various criteria in advanceof the Fair in order to create a usable, personalised list. Wine data will be categorised by four identified supplychannels - on-trade, independent retail, multiple retail andspecialist. Each channel will be given a colour coding, visible inthe app and online. This colour coding will be reflected at theLIWF itself, as each exhibitor will be given colour coded bottleneck collars – designed by Barlow Doherty – for easy navigationaround the show floor.For visitors unable to access the app or without time forplanning in advance, there will also be a MyWineFairinformation centre hub in the middle of the show floor. This willbe hosted by wine specialists who will create bespoke printableitineraries incorporating specific wines to taste, seminars, featuretastings, and Masterclasses. As well as MyWineFair, the centralHub feature will host Speaker’s Corner, a programme of stand-upsessions from industry influencers and themed pop up tastings.
