Meet the 204 champagne exhibitors at this year’s event and discover the latest trends in the world of fizz based on research by IWSR-Wine Intelligence.

The champagne sector is fully mobilised to meet the challenges of tomorrow at the Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris trade fair. And this year’s impressive display of 204 exhibitors is proof of its dynamism and success.

Feel inspired at the Champagne pavilion where 4,300 winegrowers and cooperatives will be brought together by the Syndicat Général des Vignerons de Champagne, along with local merchants and houses.

Snapshot: Champagne drinking habits

Two in three people (66%) in France appreciate champagne, according to new research by IWSR-Wine Intelligence which reveals the preferences and purchasing habits of Champagne residents.

Here in this region, residents appreciate red wines (82%), whites (74%), rosés (64%), beer (68%) and Champagne (60%) over rum (15%), cider (26%) and homemade cocktails (10%). Epicureans at heart, they drink wine several times a week, at home, alone, in pairs or between friends, by associating it with a good meal (94%) or restaurant (96%). In terms of appearance, the wine’s traditional character tops the criteria, closely followed by taste.
