The German Wine Institute (Wines of Germany) started this year's global series of promotion weeks in Japan. For the wine trade and gastronomy the events are popular measures to draw the attention of winelovers to German wines and their individual origin.

More than 300 Czech wine experts and guests from diplomacy and business accepted the invitation of the German Wine Institute (DWI) to the German Embassy in Prague in May. The specialist audience experienced wines from the 13 German wine-growing regions. The "Riesling, Pinot & Co" presentation was the ideal platform for some 26 wine producers.

Ten young winegrowers of the 'Generation Riesling' traveled to Ireland in may to bring the country and the Irish people closer to German wine. In the residence of the German Ambassador Cord Meier-Klodt, they presented their wines to a top-class audience of wine specialists.

Germany's Sommelier Spring Class 2023 led the participants to four of 13 wine growing regions. The international group - seen as the extended arm of the gastronomy - was guided by German Wine Ambassadors as well as staff from The German Wine Institute (DWI).

Visiting students from the "School of Hotel and Tourism Management" in Hong Kong met Germany's Wine Princess Julianae Schäfer at Geisenheim University. In an inspiring lecture she encouraged the Chinese guests to experience the 13 German regions and their typical wines.

Two months before the start of the Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW) 10th international symposium, 500 wine professionals and enthusiasts from almost 40 countries have confirmed their participation.

Young, innovative and cosmopolitan, this is how three of the 550 Generation Riesling members presented themselves to Dutch sommeliers and wine merchants at this year's "Königsdag". The Dutch people toast to King Willem-Alexander's birthday that day.

"Cheers Warsaw!" was the motto at this year's "Riesling, Pinot & Co." event in the Polish Capital city, where twenty German wine producers and nine Polish importers met around 180 journalists, sommeliers and buyers in April.

In its issue of April 18th 2023, the internationally renowned British daily newspaper 'The Guardian' highlights Germany as the most exciting wine nation of our times. Editor David Williams describes how the international winelover community has increasingly acquired the unique taste of wines produced from berries of the Riesling vine.

German wine producers are adapting to consumers’ prevailing tastes. As the German Wine Institute (DWI) concludes from last year’s mandatory testing of all quality wines, exactly half of all Qualitätswein and Prädikat wines were offered in a dry style.
