Messe Dusseldorf Asia and Informa Markets has announced that ProWine Asia 2020 in Singapore has been postponed due to global travel concerns in light of the latest developments regarding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.
The decision, which was taken after extensive industry consultations, aims to safeguard the safety and well-being of industry players and employees.
