In 2023, it will become 'Wine & Gourmet Japan - powered by ProWein' in the Japanese capital from 12 to 14 April 2023. From 2024, wine and spirits will be merged into ProWine Tokyo.

“With ProWine Tokyo we help our customers become successfully established on this very dynamic market in Japan. Its growth potential is enormous especially thanks to the free trade agreement with the European Union that came into force in February 2021."
