For many wineries, bulk wine suppliers, négociants, contract producers, and beverage manufacturers, 2026 has become a year of slower movement, excess inventory, tighter margins, and growing pressure to move stock. Tanks are fuller for longer, warehouse inventory is sitting, buyers are becoming more selective, and many producers are actively looking for new routes to market.

Opportunities to sit face-to-face with serious U.S. buyers looking for bulk wine, private label partners, custom crush services, contract bottling, and sourcing partnerships do not come around often. Missing this buying cycle could mean waiting another year.

This is exactly why IBWSS San Francisco (July 28–29, 2026) matters.

IBWSS is built specifically for companies looking to sell bulk wine, move excess inventory, secure private label partnerships, find contract bottling opportunities, and grow distribution in the U.S. market. The event brings together importers, distributors, retailers, hospitality groups, beverage companies, cruise buyers, and sourcing teams actively looking for supply and production partners.
