Wine Paris 2026: Innovations and dynamism of Vin De France

The 2026 edition of Wine Paris once again confirmed its status as an unmissable event for VIN DE FRANCE and its customers and prescribers.

In fact, throughout the show, the Vin De France stand enjoyed a high attendance: importers, distributors, buyers, wholesalers, wine merchants, journalists and producers followed one another, testifying to the growing success of the appellation.

A look back at the highlights of the 2026 edition...

An impressive and lively stand

The stand, recognizable by its vibrant Klein blue and its festival kiosk, showcased the 205 award-winning wines through continuous tastings, as well as four different VDF Cocktails on tap.

350 B2B meetings organised at the show

Targeted meetings between the winners of the previous edition of the competition and international buyers enabled concrete and effective networking, with a clear objective: to create opportunities and generate commercial development.

A new catering area

In 2026 Anivin de France added a dedicated business lunch area, promoting high-quality exchanges in a professional yet friendly setting.

Round table discussion on wine lists

Valérie Pajotin, Director of Anivin de France, was invited by the Union de la Sommellerie Française to participate in a round table discussion on ‘Wine lists in transition: today's trends, tomorrow's vision’, alongside Pascaline Lepeltier, Fabrice Sommier and Pierre Sang. This enriching meeting gave rise to a strong conviction: ONE regulation, but MANY wine lists, capable of reflecting the diversity of consumer expectations and the positioning of establishments. 

The awards ceremony

The evening opening of the exhibition on Monday 9 February was an opportunity to invite all the winning companies from the 2026 competition to the awards ceremony. It was a convivial moment of sharing between producers.

More than ever, the objective remains clear: to assert the position of Vin De France, both in France and abroad, and to support operators in creating new opportunities.
