European Food & Drink culture, paired with the best of European Cinema!
Focused on raising awareness about the quality and high standards of selected European wines and fresh fruits, “The Charming Taste of Europe” campaign employs a variety of promotional activities aimed at introducing audiences in the United States and Canada to Europe’s remarkable products.
“The Charming Taste of Europe” project is promoted by the Consortium for the Protection of Wines of Abruzzo (Italy), the Association of Imathias’s Agricultural Cooperatives (Greece), and the Union of Sweet Bordeaux Wines (France). These European agricultural products, famous around the world for their outstanding characteristics, are promoted with initiatives and events dedicated to consumers, journalists and professionals. Through the superb high quality Italian wines, the juicy kiwis from Greece, and the melodious French golden wines produced with the artistry of agricultural traditions, the campaign awakens senses and highlights a new culinary consciousness by connecting food, cultures, and territories and will undoubtedly bring European charm into the lives of many.
