Meet the Mavericks with Wine Intelligence

A punk brewer, a "wine rioter", a luxury obsessive and a roboticist are just some of the mavericks you will be able to meet at a new Wine Intelligence event being held at the London International Wine Fair this month.

Meet the Mavericks will be a showcase for "disruptive thinking", both within the wine trade and beyond.

"It's time to consider radical ideas and look beyond the wine category for inspiration," said Wine Intelligence chief executive Lulie Halstead. "We know the UK wine industry is in crisis, but is the traditional wine-selling model in the UK broken? And if so, what should replace it?"

These are just some of the questions being posed at the symposium, which will also consider how to challenge your business thinking, and look at current and future trends.

It is being held at LIWF on 22nd May from 9.30am to 2pm. Tickets are £75 plus VAT per person. Visit wineintelligence.com for more information.
