Vinexpo Asia 2025

Event Overview

Vinexpo Asia is the leading trade event for the wine and spirits industry in Asia-Pacific.

The 2025 edition is the second year that the show is held in Singapore, underscoring Southeast Asia’s position as a dynamic region in the global wine and spirits trade. From Thailand to Vietnam, Malaysia to Indonesia and the Philippines, the ASEAN bloc has shown a shared momentum driven by demographic growth and economic ambition with Singapore as the regional hub.

The show alternates between Hong Kong on even years to capture opportunities in Greater China, and Singapore on odd years to target the Asia-Pacific market.

Organised by Vinexposium, the world’s leading event organiser for the wine and spirits industry, Vinexpo Asia was held at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre from 27 to 29 May, 2025.

The event gathered over 8,900 trade professionals including buyers from over 60 countries, with a particularly strong showing from Southeast Asia. The attendees comprised importers, distributors, hospitality and food and beverage operators and professionals, and e-commerce stakeholders.

The opening ceremony of the event was attended by Gan Siow Huang, Singapore's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade & Industry, and 15 ambassadors, reflecting the city state’s commitment to the wine and spirit industry as well as strong diplomatic engagement involved.

Among the exhibitors at the event, the national and regional pavilions from France, Italy, China, the USA and Australia drew sustained attention.

In her address, Gan said that with over 600 million people and a rising middle class in Southeast Asia, the wine and spirits industry can benefit from the region’s economic growth. Already, alcohol beverage revenue in Southeast Asia is projected to rise by about 10% from 2023 to 2027, she added.

Over 30 conferences and masterclasses were held to provide attendees with knowledge, actionable insights and practical tools to stay ahead and seize new opportunities in a shifting global landscape, while deepening their understanding of the Asian market, a pivotal growth region in the global wine and spirits trade industry. The sessions explored themes ranging from premiumisation and emerging markets to evolving consumer behaviour and new generations of drinkers.

Singapore holds a significant position in the Asia Pacific wine and spirit industry – a mature market with increasingly sophisticated consumers, and a crucial regional trade hub for re-export to the rest of the region.

Coupled with its strategic location, world-class infrastructure and venue facilities for global and regional events, attendees agree that Singapore makes an ideal host city for Vinexpo Asia 2025.

“From our point of view, Singapore is obviously a very dynamic hospitality scene. And obviously, wine being very centre in all these restaurants, it’s a good opportunity for us as a sommelier to tell great stories,” said Jean-Baptiste Copot, Director of Wine for Black Sheep Restaurants.
