Covid-19 disrupts major wine events
Concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus have hit major events in the global wine calendar, with trade fairs and consumer events globally being cancelled or postponed.
In France, both the biennial Burgundy wine festival Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne and Bordeaux en primeur week (first taste of the 2019s) were called off in March amid growing restrictions on public gatherings. ‘We cannot today guarantee favourable health and safety conditions for visitors and exhibitors,’ said Raphaël Dubois, association president for Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne.
