The scale of the event – the success and attendance of last year's edition – as well as the Christmas Market strategy require the Organizer to take steps to develop the event. The strategy, which requires the introduction of two significant changes, is modeled on the largest and best fairs/festivals in Europe, where these principles have been successfully implemented for many years.
These rules are being implemented based on feedback we receive, such as the excessive number of outlets selling mulled wine, and to improve the quality of the wines offered. The decision to introduce ceramic deposit cups is dictated by the need to reduce waste.
- The right to sell wine (so-called mulled wine) for direct consumption:
1.1. We hereby inform you that the 2025 Christmas Market has been granted exclusive rights to sell wine (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mulled wine).
This right is held by one distributor selected through the Fair Wine Distributor Competition.
1.2. The distributor and seven entities selected by the Organizer (AMBEREXPO Partners and Sponsors of events organized by MTG SA) are authorized to sell wine at the points of sale. The sale of wine (including non-alcoholic wine) for direct consumption at other points is prohibited.
1.3. Three types of grape wines are permitted for sale: red, white, and non-alcoholic. - Obligation to sell wine for direct consumption only in ceramic deposit cups:
2.1. The Distributor and entities selected by the Organizer are obligated to sell the mulled wine in ceramic deposit cups. The purchase price will be communicated directly to the Distributor and selected entities.
