The date of the Wines from Spain 2016 trade fair has been announced.

Visitors to the 27th annual tasting will be able to sample over 1,300 wines from 69 DOs.

Some 50 importers will be showcasing their portfolios, including both new releases and classic vintages, as will 21 exporters seeking UK distribution for their wines.

Both traditional and emerging Spanish wine-producing regions will be represented at the event.

The day will also feature masterclasses and food-and-wine tastings focusing on the breadth and depth of Spain's world-class gastronomic culture.

Maria José Sevilla, director of Foods and Wines from Spain, said: "Spanish Wines continue to seduce UK palates and the offering from new emerging regions, alongside our well-established DOs, encourages consumers to explore the Spanish category further.

"There are a lot of exciting Spanish wines coming to the UK and we are looking forward to a great day of tasting."

The volume of Spanish wine sold in the UK has risen by more than a quarter since 2010, and Spain accounts for around 10% of all non-sparkling off-trade wine sales, according to data from Nielsen.

The Wines from Spain Trade Fair will take place from 10:30am to 6:00pm on Thursday, April 14 at London's Tobacco Dock.
