It was sponsored by the exhibitors funding prizes for a total value of over 7000€. The popular Wine & Science evening offered a chance to introduce the companies' products and get to know them as a potential future employer. Hereby, we would like to thank all our sponsors for their long-standing support of the Annual Meeting.
A guided walking or bus tour created to the traditional restaurant Nattererboden created unforgettable memories.
