People’s Choice was among the most eagerly awaited moments of the WineOS fair this past Friday and Saturday. With 5,496 votes, visitors decided the festival’s finest wines and spirits. In the white wine category the most votes went to the Bijeli Muskat of Obiteljski podrum Zajec; among the roses, the Rose from the K55 winery and distillery; and among the reds, the Mercellus of the Apostol winery. Coletti’s Blanc de Chardonnay took the most votes in the sparkling wine category, while Moostra plum brandy triumphed among the spirits. 
Over the two fair days WineOS drew almost 5,000 people, among them around 200 trade guests from the HoReCa sector, distribution, the wine industry and tourism. The programme and exhibitors were followed by 113 accredited journalists from Croatia and the region, while more than 150 exhibitors presented themselves at stands, on stages and at accompanying events: wineries, distilleries and producers of gastronomic delicacies, barrels and other wine and viticulture equipment.
Around 5,000 glasses were in circulation, more than 5,000 bottles of water were drunk, over 4,000 packets of savoury snacks were eaten, more than 1,500 tasting portions of food were prepared on the gastro stage and at the exhibitors’ stands, and nearly two tonnes of ice were used to serve the wines at their optimal temperature.
