Dublin Annual Trade Tasting 2022

Event: Dublin Annual Trade Tasting

Date: 9 May 2022                                                                            

Event Description:
The annual trade tasting in Dublin has been running for 25 years this year. After a switch to virtual in 2021 we plan to be back in person presenting New Zealand Wines to key trade and media in January 2022.

2020 brought enormous structural change as to how the industry in the Republic of Ireland operates. The Irish importing trade like many other countries, faced unsurmountable challenges during 2020 and into 2021. In the last year the Irish consumer has significantly traded up in terms of their wine spend, which has meant the independent retail sector has become significantly more important to importers of premium wine. Wine was the beneficiary in terms of the rise of e-commerce during 2020.  Big changes in consumer behaviour as a result of lockdown and the huge advances in smart technology drove the demand for on-line and retail wine sales.  Irish importing companies adapted significantly to the distribution challenges and in 2020 the retail sector saw remarkable growth in both volume and value sales.
