The third week of May is the annual London International Wine and Spirits Trade Fair (LIWSF), (a trade only event) held at Excel, just east of Canary Wharf. It’s a big fair with 1200 exhibitors and many thousands of producers, importers, wholesalers, restaurateurs and retailers attending from around the globe.

This year, Stormhoek in cooperation with Brintex, the fair organizers, will be doing real time, live blogging including audio and video podcasting from the LIWSF. All will be posted on www.winefairlive.com and fed live throughout the event on 20 plasma screens. The posts and podcasts will remain up for for the next year.

Anyone who attends the Fair can come blog at our stand and we encourage any UK bloggers who might want to visit with us and blog from the event, to just drop us an email.

We hope that for the Fair organizers, they will benefit from real time feed back about the event and for all of the exhibitors, it will be a new way for them to talk about their products.

Oh, and Hugh will be creating and uploading cartoons from our stand, which of course, will make it all worth while:)
