After the successful premiere in 1998 the second edition of the International Wine Trade Fair Vienna will again be staged at the state apartments of the imperial residence. Already then domestic and international experts agreed that VIEVINUM was the most elegant and elitist form of presenting wine. In a setting for which Vienna is envied by the entire world.

VIEVINUM is no wine fair in the traditional sense of the word, but a presentation of Austrian and foreign top-quality wines on the highest level. No separating walls between the berths, no elaborate stands, on completely identical tables laid in white for all exhibitors - because the event at Hofburg is all about wine and not about expensive exhibition stands! The International Wine Trade Fair Vienna is an event for wine!

From 3rd to 5th June 2000 everything at Hofburg will centre around wines - the best from at home and abroad. And a lot of importance is attributed to the fact that they are presented to a first-class audience, experts from at home and abroad from the hotel industry, catering, wholesalers and retailers, wine enthusiasts, and wine lovers from all around the globe. Exhibitors can concentrate fully on their wines and the visitors - the entire wine handling, central and decentralized cooling, re-supplies to the tables, and top-level glass service are managed by the experienced organizers MAC Hoffmann & Partner. For three days Vienna will be a city dominated by wine - the International Wine Trade Fair Vienna. And you should not miss the occasion!
