For the 3rd year running, the #BonjourProWein Showroom will showcase a selection of the 100 most notable French wines and spirits chosen through an earlier tasting by a European jury jointly recruited by Weinwirtschaft and Business France.

The opportunity for professionals to discover "a representative selection of the latest vintages - French savoir-faire will shine for ProWein's 25th anniversary!" said Benjamin Roffet, Best Sommelier of France 2010 / Best Craftsman of France Sommellerie 2011, and member of the jury.
