«As part of the work of «VinoGrad», we were able to conduct a truly unique vote: the best Russian wines were assessed not by wine critics and professional tasters, but by forum participants. The voting results were unexpected, but honest, and most importantly, they show the true perception of wine by the target audience. We accomplished our task and managed to convince the forum guests that Russian wines are not only no worse, but also better than foreign ones,» said Andrey Reut, First Deputy Director of Roscongress.
The prize in each category was a foundation certificate, which gives the opportunity to organize your own business event at the Third Wine Forum, which will be held on November 7-8, 2024.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place from June 5 to 8. — information partner of the forum.
