- Wine Meridian collaboration on 2025-2026 taps expands lead flow and market reach.
- Recent website updates show active operations and ongoing international client demand.
What critics are saying
- Dependence on Italian wineries and trade events exposes revenue to cancellation risk in 2026.
- Competing organizers and consortia can replicate tastings and workshops, compressing margins quickly.
- If producer budgets tighten, IEM loses its only niche and faces existential contraction.
