The Speakeasy at Wine Paris & Vinexpo 2023 will be daring and will deal with trendy topics in the world of spirits and mixology, all in a very friendly atmosphere.
Speakeasy will also be the meeting place for masterclasses, conferences and round tables dedicated to the new trends and challenges of the global spirits market, among which we can already mention:
- a masterclass on Brandy led by Lucien Bernard,
- a “Spirits” masterclass by the WSET,
- a “Sowine” conference led by Marie Mascré, “Z (as in zebra?): the younger generation and their relationship with wine and spirits”,
- or the masterclasses of the Japan Sake and Sochu Association.
In addition, La Bataille des Mixologistes (Battle of the Mixologists), a new animation, will bring together the most creative figures in the profession.
Finally, as usual, visitors will have the opportunity to taste cocktails thanks to the huge Infinite Bar, one of Be Spirits’ must-see.
The 40-meter-long Infinite Bar will be a focal point in the Be Spirits hall, at the crossroads of business and inspiration.
This year, it will host European, Parisian and French bars to showcase the abundant creativity of great mixologists or rising figures on the bartender scene.
