#245 ProWein Recap - Is ProWein Fighting Back or Falling Flat?

After last year's episode asking "Is Wine Paris kicking ProWein's
ass?", it's time to see if Düsseldorf came back swinging or
just... well, limping. 🩼


ProWein 2025 had its highs — focused masterclasses, a strong
spirits hall, and a solid Zero Corner - but the chaos with the
app and fewer visitors left many questioning if Germany can still
hold its ground. 


In terms of content, AI, spirits, and alcohol-free are on the
rise, but with Wine Paris offering a smoother, more affordable
ride, will more people ditch Düsseldorf next year?





Is ProWein still the wine fair, or are we witnessing the slow
fade of a giant? Drop your hot takes below!
