Even if you know that you produce a strong portfolio of wines, in this highly competitive market it's often difficult to find exposure. If you're an unrepresented producer, it's a monumental task. 

The UK is the second largest importer of wine in the world. According to the Wine & Spirit Trade Association, the wine industry accounts for £17.3bn in economic activity, with 99% of wine consumed coming from outside the UK.  

Winemakers

Iubentium's raison d'être is to help find representation for winemakers not currently selling to the UK market and give them a piece of this action. We can create a campaign, specific to your needs, using our extensive contacts to help you find an importer and entry into the UK and Ireland markets. 

Importers

With the plethora of events taking place, importers can’t be everywhere at once. If you have a gap in your portfolio, we can use our contacts to help you to find new and exciting producers and provide you with a competitive edge in an overcrowded market.

‘A great tasting last week, with Richard Dudley-Craig of Iubentium. Richard aims to help wine growers who are looking for a UK importer and the line-up included a new estate with vineyards just outside my Languedoc village’ - Rosemary George MW

The big wine fairs, exhibitions and events are absolutely brilliant, but independent winemakers can get lost in the crush and don't stand a chance against the bigger names.  These events can be very expensive for smaller producers and don't always produce the hoped-for results.

Iubentium's strength lies in arranging small, intimate tastings, putting you and your wine centre-stage, in front of key industry professionals. These events are competitively priced and offer excellent value for money. As well as our own importer tastings we can offer: -

Single producer tastings

Group tastings 

Masterclasses and tutored tastings

Wine dinners

We are also more than happy to work with you in order to create a bespoke event, tailored to your own requirements and needs. Please have a look at our gallery to see some of our past events.

Our next event - L’Entente de Vin International - takes place on the 8th April 2024. Please get in touch if you would like further information about this event to if you would like us to help you organise your own event.

Building a wine list for your bar, restaurant or shop can be extremely challenging. It's hard to get the balance right between the familiar and the unusual, the popular and the eclectic.

Tasting notes for wine lists
