Exciting news from Strasbourg!
Two major international wine events will be held simultaneously on March 14 and 15, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès in Strasbourg:
– The 28th edition of the Mondial des Vins Blancs Strasbourg, a unique competition in the world exclusively dedicated to white wines, under the patronage of the OIV and member of VINOFED.
– The launch of the first edition of the European Red & Rosé Wine Contest, a new competition dedicated to celebrating the diversity of European red and rosé wines.
The Mondial des Vins Blancs Strasbourg – 28th Edition
The Mondial des Vins Blancs Strasbourg is the only competition in the world entirely dedicated to showcasing the full diversity of white wines from across the globe.
Held under the patronage of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) and a member of VINOFED, the World Federation of Major International Wine and Spirits Competitions, this event brings together more than 20 wine-producing countries each year.
Judged by 60 experts from five continents, it celebrates the diversity and excellence of white wines.
Remember - in April 2025 GREECE took home 3 medals with white wines of outstanding quality.
A World First: Opening to Francs de Pied
The 28th edition gives unprecedented recognition to Francs de Pied — a world first.
Definition:
A “franc de pied” vine is one of the last specimens of Vitis vinifera, a vine grown on its original roots, not grafted onto American rootstock (as has been legally required since the phylloxera crisis of the 19th century).
Did you know?
These rare and particularly vulnerable vines produce unique and authentic wines, as they directly transmit the characteristics of both the grape variety and the terroir.
Both events, organized by Strasbourg Events, aim to highlight excellence, diversity, and innovation in the wine industry.
Stay tuned!
