“WineFuture 2021 will inspire and invigorate wine professionals throughout the world, from all
backgrounds to attend via Zoom,” says WineFuture 2021 host and co-organizer David Furer of
this third edition. “It’ll also allow sponsors to promote brands to people who, due to the
financial and chronological costs associated with on-site events, may not have considered
attending an event of this caliber.”
Pancho Campo, founder of WineFuture, says that “our 2009 and 2011 editions in Rioja and
Hong Kong were very successful in answering the many questions that wine professionals had
about the severe economic recession the world was facing. WineFuture 2021 returns with a
large coterie of this business’s most influential people, and the same spirit of sharing
knowledge in a time that is even more threatening.”
WineFuture 2021 is a non-profit event helping to raise funds for Porto Protocol (PT), Save Our
Schools (ZA), North Bay Jobs with Justice (US).
