JK Marketing is the organiser/owner of The Specialist Importers Trade Tasting (SITT), The Boutique Wineries Tasting (BWT) and The Major Buyers Tasting (MBT), and acts as the UK generic office for ViniPortugal promoting Portuguese Wines to the trade and to consumers. JKM also organises events for other groups, manages one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date databases of on and off trade in the UK, and offers marketing/consultancy services to the trade.
The Boutique Wineries Tasting offers on and off trade buyers, along with press visitors, the opportunity to taste truly outstanding wines that are available in limited quantities. Importers, generic groups and producers will be exhibiting. It’s the perfect event to get all your pre-Christmas tasting done in one day.
There are exciting plans to make the day a bit different from the usual wine tasting events, with live video links to an exhibitor vineyard plus social networking seminars and blogs.
The Major Buyers Tasting was created in 2007 to offer an opportunity for buyers to enjoy an uncluttered, unhassled day with some of their key independent suppliers. Where they can try new wines, see new packaging and work quietly and effectively without being pulled from pillar to post. Visit the 2009 tasting on the 6th October.
As the UK office for ViniPortugal we are here to help consumers and the trade find, promote and enjoy the wines from this diverse and fascinating wine producing country. Our programme ranges from consumer and trade tastings, promotional support for major retailers, independent retailers and on-trade, provision of point of sale material, and much, much more.
