The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles | CMB took part in GrandVin 2026, held at the Marriott Hotel in Skopje. The event was an opportunity for CMB to showcase the award-winning wines from the Vranac Selection by CMB 2026, further cementing the growing reputation of Balkan vineyards on the world stage

The CMB Stand: A Showcase of Excellence at the Heart of GrandVin

The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles stand drew the attention of wine professionals and enthusiasts from around the world. Visitors had the chance to discover and taste the full range of medal-winning wines from the Vranac Selection by CMB, the international competition dedicated to the Vranac grape variety.

CMB’s presence at GrandVin gave the awarded Balkan producers unique international visibility, as their wines now benefit from the official CMB recognition, a mark of quality trusted and respected across global markets.

The Balkans: A New World Reference for Wine

GrandVin is an unmissable event for wine professionals across South-Eastern Europe, and this year’s edition once again brought together the industry’s key players. With six countries in attendance, such as Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia, the richness and diversity of Balkan winemaking was on full display. CMB’s presence sent a clear message: these wines, now awarded and internationally recognised, have earned their place on the world stage.

“The Vranac Selection is far more than a competition — it is a celebration of the authenticity and terroirs of the Balkans, where tradition and innovation come together,”
Says Baudouin Havaux, Président of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles | CMB
