What a week! London Wine Fair 2025 was a brilliant celebration of progress across the drinks industry – and the Canned Wine Group team was proud to be part of it.
Our Chief Commercial Officer, Ben, led an inspiring panel on leadership, joined by a standout group of industry voices:
🔸 Kris Hall, CEO & Founder of The Burnt Chef Project
🔸 Tina Warner-Keogh, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Warner’s Distillery
🔸 Jaega Wise, Broadcaster, Author & Brewer
🔸 Georg Gruber, CEO at Nando’s Grocery
The conversation explored what it takes to lead with purpose in today’s ever-evolving landscape.
We also partnered with The Burnt Chef Project to host the fair’s first ever “Burnt Brunch” — a powerful session focused on mental health awareness in the hospitality and drinks industry.
Our very own Elena, Trade Marketing Manager, joined a dynamic panel on brand collaborations, speaking alongside industry leaders such as David Tromans (Schenk Family) and Dan Harwood (Eisberg), James Fleming (Gigantic Creative) and chaired by Tom Khan-Lavin, unpacking what makes a collaboration truly successful.
On our stand, Charlotte Astle from Positive Luxury joined us to share the story behind our sustainability journey – including our work which secured certification with the Butterfly Mark, building on our recent B Corp status. It was fantastic to engage with so many of you on this important topic.
We also hosted a relaxed dinner at Salt Yard, where guests enjoyed our wines paired with Mediterranean-inspired dishes. It was a brilliant reminder that packaging format doesn’t define quality – sourcing exceptional wines, backed by technical expertise and a compelling brand story, is what really makes the difference.
It’s also been amazing to see coverage of our work featured in Dine Out, Pub & Bar, and Contract Catering – a sign of the growing interest in both our brand and the canned wine category as a whole.
Finally, a special congratulations to Marieke (Head of Sustainability & Operations) and Elena (Trade Marketing Manager), who were both included in Harpers Wine & Spirit 30 Under 30 – recognised as Sustainability and Innovation champions, respectively.
Until next year — thank you to everyone who joined us, connected with us, and continues to support our journey.
