The latest achievements in the field of wine storage and serving will be discussed at SPIEF 2025

Modern trends in the field of wine glasses and specialized accessories will be considered within the framework of the updated thematic site "VinoGrad" – an open space on the street between pavilions F and G.

In 2025, the site expanded significantly: the tasting program includes more wineries, a gastronomic area allows you to practice food peyring, and a new lounge area for the first time unites business negotiations and acquaintance with the achievements of Russian winemakers. The program of master classes and tastings has become more informative and interactive.

The master class "The art of wine accessories: from a glass to a corkscrew - everything a wine connoisseur needs to know" will be conducted by Ion Oboceanu, founder of Addwine. The company offers a full range of professional tools for working with wine – from basic accessories to complex storage systems used in the best restaurants, wine boutiques and private collections. Ion is not only an entrepreneur, but also a true enthusiast who deeply understands how accessories affect the perception of wine. His presentation promises to be fascinating, and the information will be as relevant as possible due to the monitoring of technological innovations in this area.

Choosing the right glasses often causes difficulties, especially for novice wine connoisseurs. At the master class, Ion will analyze in detail the shapes, materials and variations of the cups of glasses using examples of the trendiest models for red, white and sparkling wines. Participants will learn how premium glasses differ from everyday ones based on current samples.

Special attention will be paid to the history of the corkscrew, a familiar device presented today in thousands of variations, from the simplest to modern “smart” models. Ion will provide an overview of the classic and professional versions.

The issues of wine storage – temperature, humidity, lighting – are especially relevant for those who consider wine as an investment. The master class will discuss the control of these parameters using modern technologies, as well as issues of maintaining an optimal temperature regime when serving wine.

The master class will be useful for both professionals of the wine market – restaurateurs and sommeliers, as well as wine lovers of any level – from collectors to beginners who want to understand current trends.

The presentation will be held in an interactive format: participants will be able to hold and test accessories, as well as receive recommendations on their choice for home and professional use.
