Bottle Market Bremen – meeting place for whiskey, rum, and gin lovers

Discover. Taste. Enjoy.

The Bottle Market in Bremen is one of the leading spirits fairs in the German-speaking world – and a real highlight for anyone who loves high-quality distillates, rare spirits, and artisanal distilling. Every year, Hall 7 of the Bremen Exhibition Center is transformed into a world of taste, aromas, and personal exchange between producers, retailers, and connoisseurs. The focus is on whisky – from Scottish single malts and Irish and American classics to exciting new discoveries from Germany, Scandinavia, and Japan. In addition, the BOTTLE MARKET also presents an impressive variety of rum, gin, cognac, grappa, liqueurs, and craft spirits.

An experience for the senses – and for connoisseurs and beginners alike

The atmosphere at the Bottle Market is characterized by curiosity, exchange, and genuine passion. Over 100 exhibitors from Germany and abroad present their products at stylishly designed tasting stands. Whether you're trying a smoky Islay whiskey for the first time or are a collector looking for limited single cask bottlings, there's something for everyone here. A visit is not only an opportunity to discover new spirits, but also to talk to distillers, importers, and experts. They provide insights into origin, production methods, flavor profiles, and food pairing. If you are interested in other trade fairs in the region, you will find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Bremen Trade Fair.

Key topics and highlights

• Whiskey: The focus is on classics from Scotland, Ireland, and the USA – but exciting whiskeys from Germany, France, Sweden, and Japan are also represented. Bottlers, independent traders, and distilleries bring their best spirits with them.
• Rum: From Caribbean classics to matured agricole rums and exciting cask finishes – the rum selection impresses with its variety and depth.
• Gin: The boom continues unabated. Craft gins with regional botanicals, fruity summer editions, and spicy navy strengths—the fair showcases the entire spectrum of this trendy topic.
• Other spirits: Cognac, Armagnac, mezcal, fruit brandies, and exceptional liqueurs round out the selection.
• Food & Pairing: To complement the selection of high-quality spirits, there are also fine culinary specialties—including chocolate, cheese, smoked goods, and pralines—that harmonize perfectly with the flavors.

Masterclasses, tastings, and guided discovery tours

The masterclasses and tasting seminars that take place during the fair are particularly popular. Here, experts guide participants through themed tastings – be it a “Whiskey Around the World” flight, a deep dive into barrel aging, or a rum cocktail workshop. Places are in high demand, often limited – and offer a real learning experience for connoisseurs.

Enjoyment with responsibility – and a clear structure

The Bottle Market attaches great importance to enjoyable, responsible tasting. Water stations, small tasting quantities, well-trained staff, and a balanced trade fair concept ensure that quality and education are at the forefront – not consumption. Accompanying the fair, there is glass rental, advice, and a shop area where discoveries can be taken home immediately. Who should visit?
