Preparing B2B prospecting at VinoDortmund 2026
- Review the event catalogue ahead of arrival to shortlist producers with new 2025 bottlings.
- Prioritize meetings with suppliers that show ordering options on site and record price and minimum order information during tastings.
- Plan targeted conversations rather than broad walkthroughs and prepare purchase terms to discuss directly with winemakers and importers.
This approach helps convert tastings into concrete purchase leads and streamlines supplier evaluation.
