The third and final part of @TheBuyer11 @ProseccoDOC debate sees top wine buyers, importers & sommeliers assess the impact that Prosecco DOC Rosé is having on the category and what potential there is for rosé to take Prosecco DOC in a new direction. https://t.co/h7xjoxOXGg

What does #ProseccoDOC need to do to build on its 114m bottles sold in the UK every year? Part 2 of @TheBuyer11 debate with @ProseccoDOC asks top buyers, importers & sommeliers for their "what next for Prosecco?" insights & what will drive that growth https://t.co/tD13J3yaqH

[Richard Siddle @richardsiddle]

Nearly all wine lists have a #ProseccoDOC on its list but how much do buyers know about the region it comes from? @TheBuyer11 teamed up with @ProseccoDOC to bring top buyers together to taste, debate & assess Prosecco's role in premium on & off-trade https://t.co/GUoDAN7nVC

[The_Buyer @TheBuyer11]

All set for @TheBuyer11 debate and masterclass with @ProseccoDOC with @TheWineTipster and chance to show a wide range of different style Prosecco DOCs with top importers, merchants and sommeliers and discuss what works best in the UK on-trade.
