Calling all retailers and buyers: It’s almost Wine O’Clock in Cannes

INTERNATIONAL. Retailers and buyers are warmly invited to the travel retail industry’s first wine seminar – Wine O’Clock – as momentum builds for the highly-anticipated event in Cannes.

Wine O’Clock will take place on the afternoon of Sunday 29 September 2019 (starting 16.00) during the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference and before the Opening Cocktail. Entry is complimentary to all retailers.

The event will include a retailer’s panel discussion featuring Dubai Duty Free’s Manager Purchasing and Research Sharon Beecham, Gebr Heinemann Purchase Director Ruediger Stelkens and another speaker to be confirmed in coming days. There will be plenty of fine wine tasting, courtesy of the sponsors (see below), a revealing report from m1ndset’s Peter Mohn, and a special surprise.

Wine O’Clock is co-hosted by The Moodie Davitt Report and integrated retail marketing agency FILTR. The event is designed to put the spotlight on the wine category and its burgeoning potential in travel retail. Brand owners representing several key wine-producing nations will participate in and co-sponsor the event, which will also feature an exclusive tasting session.

Treasury Wine Estates (representing Australia), Peuch & Besse (France), Masi Agricola (Italy), Viña Concha y Toro (South America) and Distell (South Africa), as well as Insights Partner m1nd-set are sponsoring the event.

The seminar will be held in the Marta Room at the Hotel Majestic in Cannes before the TFWA Opening Cocktail. To register your interest in attending this invitation-only event, please email wineoclock@moodiedavittreport.com
