What's on

ICEX, Foods and Wines from Spain and the Spanish Embassy Commercial Office in Copenhagen organize an online wine tasting for 30 sommeliers and journalists. The tasting is of Atlantic wines from Galicia, the Basque Country and Bierzo.The presentation and tasting of the wines will take place on the 21st of June 2021 from 1 pm to 2.30 pm. Master of Wines Jonas Tofterup will present 10 wines from the mentioned areas. Participants will receive the samples before the tasting.

This event, aimed at the professional sector of sommeliers and journalists, will serve to inform, arouse interest, and show the potential that Atlantic wines have. The goal is that the participants will be able to convey the peculiarities of these wines to their restaurant customers and readers of their blogs, articles or reports.

Although Denmark is mainly a country with a large consumption of red wine, the increase in purchases of white wine and rosé wine has been remarkable. It should be noted that Spanish white wines have increased their sales by 18% and rosés by up to 68%, which is reflected in a growing interest in the so-called Atlantic wines, following an increased presence in both the HORECA channel and supermarkets.
