While Prowein has announced the cancellation of its Dusseldorf show and Vinexpo Hong Kong is postponed from May to July, Vinexpo New York opens as scheduled on Monday, March 2 at the Javits Convention Center. The exhibition center is located in the center (west) of New York City, on the banks of the Hudson River, in a district in full revival.
Follow the guidelines
Exceptional hygiene measures were announced by the exhibition center, which complement those put in place each year against the flu. These measures include the installation of 70 hand disinfection stations that allow visitors to clean their hands as often as they wish. The contact points, ramps, handles, counters are cleaned more frequently, paramedics will be on site at all times and will have emergency equipment. The park is committed to following all city, state and federal public health guidelines and has trained its staff and associates to prevent contamination throughout the premises. According to US health authorities “ the risk of being exposed to contamination remains low throughout the United States and in New York City “. They recommend living normally while observing the same precautions as for the flu, in particular frequent hand washing.
Safe glasses
For Vinexpo New York, the Bordeaux company is associated with an American company, Diversified Communications. Beckie Kier, event director, who has been leading the event since 2018, specifies that additional measures have been put in place in recent days: ” The glasses, which will be disinfected like the spittoons, will be placed systematically drinking down on the counters. Employees will use gloves “. In addition, clean glass racks will be placed at the entrance to the show. Visitors can, if they wish, take a glass straight out of the washing machines without ever having been touched and keep it for all of their tastings.
Vinexpo welcomes 266 exhibitors and anticipates between 2,500 and 3,000 visitors. According to Beckie Kier, some producers have preferred not to make the trip and will be represented by their importer or their American partner. No defection is announced from the Italians.
