Award ceremonies at EUROVINO 2025: Happy faces at the Networking Evening
As part of the EUROVINO – Trade Fair for Wine Networking Evening, the Fair Wine Award and New & different, the new EUROVINO Innovation & Marketing Award, were presented.
Numerous retailers, restaurateurs, winemakers and wine producers were delighted to receive an award on the stage at Messe Karlsruhe.
New & different celebrates its premiere at EUROVINO 2025
The concept of the EUROVINO Innovation & Marketing Award was developed by Messe Karlsruhe and aims to evaluate marketing “outside and around the bottle”: the five categories therefore range from the best product design and packaging, the best product presentation at the POS and the best marketing campaign to the innovation of the year in wine marketing. A special feature is that the judging is carried out by two committees: In addition to a jury of experts (Experts' choice), a jury of industry up-and-comers (Young choice), namely students from Heilbronn University's Wine Marketing and Management course, also carried out the assessment. In this way, the award also provides entrants with explicit feedback on how their products and campaigns are received by the younger generation.
The two jury sessions ultimately produced the following results – congratulations to all the award-winning companies and projects!
- Young Choice: Firma Schönski GmbH & Weingut Achenbach – Logo, Corporate Design & Etiketten für das Weingut Achenbach
- Experts‘ Choice: Frau Z. Kommunikationsdesign & Weinbau Neubauer – „Bin schon hier“ Sortimentsausstattung Weinbergstiere

Fair Wine Award gives a stage to sustainable and environmentally friendly wines
With the motto “Fair has a future”, the Fair Wine Award addresses the challenges facing global viticulture in the wake of climate change and adapting to changing natural and social challenges.
This year's spring competition further establishes the Fair Wine Award as a respected testing authority for wines from sustainable wine production, organic wines, wines from resistant and historical grape varieties as well as corresponding sparkling wines and sparkling wines from traditional bottle fermentation through to experimental wines and natural or orange wines.
