Sparkling Wine Forum Innovation in the sparkling wine industry

Sparkling Wine Forum is a symposium that proposes to link the fields of research, economic development and innovation at all levels of the sparkling wine sector. It is a professional event dedicated to producers of sparkling wines, companies in the sector, oenologists, specialized press, etc.

Sparkling Wine Forum is an event born at the initiative of EFFEVENT, a French company based in Reims that also organises the VITeff trade show and aims to position Champagne as an international crossroads of innovation and technical expertise for the sparkling wine sector.

Back to Champagne (France) for the 3rd Sparkling Wine Forum

After a second edition in Italy, the third edition of the Sparkling Wine Forum will take place in Champagne (France) in spring 2025. This international meeting will bring together researchers, professionals and companies active in the sparkling wine sector, through conferences, masterclasses and a networking dinner.

The event, a veritable crossroads for research, economic development and innovation, will continue to pave the way for sharing know-how by uniting the strengths of different sparkling wine regions in France and abroad to meet the challenges facing the industry. 


> Throw back to the previous editions

The first Sparkling Wine Forum fully addressed the current concerns of those involved in the sparkling wine sector, focusing on the issue of "How can sparkling wines cope with climate change?"

To this end, a number of targeted conferences and presentations were organised, featuring contributions from researchers from Champagne and other sparkling wine regions in France and abroad.

The industry's most active innovators also took the floor to present their research and development strategies and unveil new products and services.

The second edition in 2024 strengthened the international dimension, hosted in the heart of the Franciacorta appellation in Italy. It also provided an opportunity to explore other challenges facing the sparkling wine industry, such as consumer expectations, No/Low and natural alternatives to SO2.
