With the reopening of Chinese borders in spring, the 2023 CIIE hosted 3,486 exhibitors from 154 countries, a significant increase from 2,800 in 2022, drawing over 394,000 visitors. Agreements reached during this edition totaled $78 billion, signaling a robust recovery and growth for participating businesses.

Organized by Business France in Paris and China, with support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, the French Pavilion showcased 11 French companies in the agri-food sector and wines and spirits under the 'Taste France' banner.

ProWine Shanghai's 10th edition, after multiple postponements due to health concerns, took place from November 8 to 10, 2023. The event saw 27,363 Chinese professional visitors and featured 660 exhibitors from 32 countries/regions.

The French Pavilion, a consistent participant since the fair's inception, once again stood out as the largest national pavilion, hosting 79 companies under the highly visible Taste France brand. They showcased both classic and innovative products, including still wines, sparkling wines, alcohol-free options, spirits, cans, and ready-to-drink beverages. 

France has never before seen such successful figures for its wine exports. In 2022, a record turnover of 12.3 bn EUR was registered (+10.9% / 2021) for 14.0 Mhl of wine sold (-5% / 2021).

This accounts for almost one third of global exports value as France benefits from a shift in consumption habits to better quality wines, despite worldwide high inflation, the energy crisis caused by the conflict in Ukraine, and global supply chain disruptions.
