Artificial intelligence, which drives the digitalization of processes from the vineyard to commercialization, has become a new ally in achieving a true transformation of the sector. The climate emergency, new commercial challenges, and the complexity of modern logistics processes all demand innovative solutions. How can digitalization in the sector be promoted? What results are being seen in companies already working with artificial intelligence? What are the main barriers to accessing digitalization? Is digitalization for everyone? Auditorium

Objectively, no other country can single-handedly replace sales in the United States, but there are markets to explore elsewhere in the world. What are these emerging markets where there is still a long way to go? Can Spanish wine turn to other destinations to offset a potential decline in sales in the US? Is it necessary to change production or approaches to maintain the percentage of Spanish wine exports?  Auditorium

    2026-02-04 11:00 2026-02-04 11:45 Europe/Madrid How has wine prescription evolved? Wine prescriptions remain crucial. Consumers seek advice and are guided by those they have chosen as their references: media outlets, guides, competitions, and critics. But recently, wine prescriptions have diversified, and in addition to traditional channels, we are discovering a new universe through social media. There is a new way of prescribing wine, with very diverse influences, both among winemakers and among consumers themselves. We will analyze how this evolution has evolved, what consumers are really looking for, and what the current prescription offers them. Auditorium
