The third
edition of Vini, Birre, Ribelli (VBR) has taken place on
26 and 27 of November 2016.
As for the first two
editions, this exhibition will be exclusively craft,
sustainable, organic and mostly natural products.
Bringing together in a single location the beer and
wine’s alternative worlds and food that is good, clean
and fair is definitively unique in Belgium.
In 2015, we welcomed 3200 visitors, a 100% increase,
despite the terrorist attacks happening in Paris a week
before the event. This year, we aim for 4500 visitors.
(Let's
see the pictures
of 2015)!
For this
third edition, we will also innovate with several
“premiere” :
1.
Venue
The exhibition will take place at Garage Citroën Yser, a
great opportunity as this splendid building was recently
acquired by the city of Brussels to become the Museum of
Contemporary Art in collaboration with the Centre
Pompidou.
2.
Exhibitors set a
record
VBR will present 210 exhibitors (a 43%
increase from 2015) :
-
160
winemakers (+33%) of which 78 French, 76 Italian and
6 from other countries;
-
25
brewers (+47%);
-
13 Slow
Food restaurants, with the collaboration of Slow

-
12
ethical and other stands ( +100%)

first exhibition in Belgium labelled as “zero waste”.

officially the support from the international Slow Food

GoodFood Brussels
VBR is also fully integrated into the strategy of
GoodFood Brussels, launched by the Ministry of
Environment in December 2015, and with whom it settled a
partnership.
6.
Two famous
ambassadors
Two top-notch celebrities of the
wine and beer planet have accepted to become the

Charity with Viva
for Life

euro per ticket sold to Viva for Life, a Belgian
initiative for vulnerable children. This will be
completed by a special auction of +/- 200 bottles in
four lots, led by Eric Boschman and Carlo Pascale.

Enrico D'Ambrogio
His secret dream hidden in a drawer is to open a
wine-bar in Japan, the country which he likes. In a
shorter future, his project is to plant olive-trees in
the ground which left him his father in the Center of
Italia. Today, when his work of political analyst for an
Institution of UE let him free time, he takes it to
visit natural producers in Italy, France, Germany and
Slovenia.
Since 2009, once a month, he organizes in
Brussels its “Fridays of the Wine” thanks to which he
contributes to spread the culture of the wine of
quality, obeying in that way the mission of
communication that the regretted Dino Marchi entrusted
to those, like Enrico, had obtained the Diploma
of Sommelier from the Italian Association of the
Sommeliers. And last but not least, Enrico
follows now the courses of the ONAV (National
Organization of the Wine Tasters).

Jean
Hummler
Born in
Alsace, Jean Hummler comes very young to settle in
Brussels, and after having worked like employee in the
bar “Moeder
Lambic”,
it begins, with the assistance of two friends, the
establishment on his own account to impose on it its
radical vision of the concept of artisan beer.
Unrepentant fan of the adventure of the Brewery
Cantillon, his friendship with Jean Van Roy provided the
foundations of the discovery of a unique world which
gives to the beer its higher noble and popular letters.
With the
opening of its second establishment, “Moeder Fontainas”,
Jean Hummler proposes beloved and varied beers, in the
manner of a sommelier.

Patrick
Böttcher
Pharmacist of profession, Patrick Böttcher
impassioned himself very early for the wines and
the obviousness to have to find against
industrial and formatted alive wines, natural
wines produced by artisan wine growers
stimulated him to create the www.vinslibres.net,
blog which it has now been animated for 3 years
and for which he organizes many tasting.
During the five last 5 years, his travels have
made it discover the attractive world of Vini
Naturali d' Italia for which he is impassioned,
as well for the wines than for the human beings
which are behind.
This passion leads him to join the project
“Wines, Beers, Rebels!”
