English Wine Producers are exhibiting for the first time in the show's 34 year history with a number of producers, including Ridgeview and Chapel Down, on a generic stand. Two new areas to visit are: BULK, for buyers looking for 24,000 litres (or more) of wine, there's now a dedicated area of the Fair designed to provide options for large-scale purchase and shipping.
