The London International Wine Fair 2009 – and the Balkans
Sources and tags:
The London International Wine Fair which will take place in the ExCeL exhibition centre, in London, from 12th to 14th May 2009 will, for the first time, host winemakers from Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia.
They will join producers from Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria already attending this annual international meeting. Love for great cuisine, viticulture and “savoir-vivre” are common values shared by countries of the Balkan Peninsula, so the next step for local winemakers is to present their products to a broad British and international audience during the next fair in the capital of the UK.
As part of the Croatian display, you will see some local marvels like wines from the Zlatan Otok (“Golden Island”) house, a Hvar Island based winery, a selection of products from the national flagship BADEL 1862, but also a set of wines from the association of winemakers of Istria (the western Croatian peninsula), or from the Izvor Zivota (“Spring of Life”) company located in the small town of Ilok, close to Vukovar.
The Bosnian exhibition will include key local houses like Hercegovina Produkt, Vukoje, Andrija, Citluk, Domanovic and Bobita. They will be sponsored by the Chamber of Economy of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Apart the famous Macedonian company Tikves, which has made a yearly attendance its motto, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will be represented by four more houses: Delvina, Skovin, Popova Kula, and the important producer Bovin Dooel from the city of Negotino.
The selection of wine products from Serbia will be promoted by the British supplier Ivanovic&McHardy. They will have the privilege to present the finest local wines, like the major Rubin Company, as well as houses Aleksandrovic, Jelic, Radovanovic, Jovic and Do Kraja Sveta (“To the Ends of the World”).
