PRODECA - Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda is supporting the participation of Catalan wineries at Barcelona Wine Week (Fira de Barcelona's Montjuïc venue, 5-7 February 2024).

Barcelona Wine Week (BWW) is backed by Spain's leading wine institutions and bodies and aims to position itself as a key, benchmark event for promoting the marketing and internationalisation of our wines.

CONDITIONS AND AMOUNT OF PRODECA'S CONTRIBUTION

Prodeca will support with a direct contribution the Catalan wineries taking part in BWW that produce wine in Catalonia or within a Catalan DO, including Catalan producers within the Cava DO.

The contributions are intended for wineries taking part in the spaces designed by the fair. Accordingly, no contribution is available to companies taking part with their own decoration and design, nor to companies in the Collectives area.

The amount of the contribution will depend on the type of participation chosen, whatever the size of the space, as follows:

1. Direct participation in the LANDS area

   
   Open to companies booking their stand directly with the fair.
   
   The contribution is €400 + VAT, regardless of the size of the space (7, 14, 21 or 35 m2) and the number of stands booked.
   
   If a stand is shared by 2 companies, both must complete the registration and state in the comments that they are sharing, with whom, and which of the two is the main exhibitor; the contribution is then €250 + VAT per company.

2. A Regulatory Board (CRDO) that books and pays for the stands of companies taking part under its DO
   
   The CRDO will receive €250 + VAT for each winery exhibiting under its umbrella.

3. A CRDO that provides support or pays the companies' registration but does not pay for their space
   
   The CRDO is entitled to a contribution of €250 + VAT.

4. A CRDO booking its own space at the fair (in addition to any promotional space the fair may offer the DO free of charge, whether or not it pays for the space or provides other support to companies)
   
   The CRDO is entitled to a contribution of €250 + VAT.

5. Direct participation in a 4 m2 stand (Impulse stand)
   
   These are located along the sides of the hall.

   The contribution for this type is €120 + VAT.

   In addition to this contribution, and to give greater visibility to the sector's strength and to the participation of Catalan companies and DOs, it is also working with the fair to display the brand "Catalonia, where wine is culture".
