Wine Industry Network is proud to partner with VINIDEA to launch the ENOFORUM USA event in Santa Rosa, CA, on May 11th. "ENOFORUM is the only opportunity where the three pillars of innovation come together," says Gianni Trioli, VINIDEA's founder and president, "the researchers, the suppliers who fund much of this research and develop the technology, and the pioneering winemakers who implement the new technologies in their daily work and often adapt them for greater efficiency.

The distinctive feature of ENOFORUM is to offer participants an extensive review of the latest SCIENTIFIC RESULTS READY TO BE APPLIED INTO PRACTICE. For the Enoforum USA 2022 event, which will take place at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds on May 11 and 12, 2022, we want to include the most useful research available for the US wine producers, selected from those most applicative that were presented in the international conferences organized by Vinidea in 2021 (Enoforum Italia, Enoforum Web Conference, Macrowine). We are asking for feedback from US producers to evaluate and assign a rating from 1 (not at all interesting) to 4 (very interesting) from the list of topics below. From this ranking, we will select the presentations considered most interesting, in order to offer ENOFORUM USA 2022 participants a program adapted to the needs of the North American wine industry.  Rank the topics here.
