A total of 262 renowned Bulgarian and foreign companies attended - a rise of 45% in terms of foreign participants compared to 2009. Bulgaria was represented by 114 wine and rakia producers, with 148 foreign companies also present.

The exhibition also has the goal of supporting the efforts of companies within the vine and wine industry. Visiting the expo, Angel Kinanov, Deputy Executive Director of the State Agriculture Fund said that a total of EUR 21 184 000 had been contracted in 158 projects under the National Programme for Development of Vine Growing and Wine Producing Sector since its inception in 2008.
