The sixth edition of the Balkan International Wine Competition & Festival will be held from

Bulgaria will become again the spotlight for the world wine community and therefore one of the objectives that  BIWC has set  is the launching  of campaign against breast cancer, which goes around the world under the motto: #winelover against cancer, to raise awareness and ways for prevention of the disease. During the BIWC  #winelover against cancer t-shirts can be purchased and together with the tickets fund raising will help to buy and to provide the necessary help.

This campaign has involved more than 20 000 people already from around the world who are united in the group #winelover. The campaign was launched in 2015 and will be held for the first time in Bulgaria. The idea for the campaign came from the fact that the creator of the world movement #winelover, Luis Alberto will be part of the international jury of the Balkan International Wine Competition 2017., who together with Patrick Farrell  MD, MW initiated this noble cause.

One of the partners of # BIWC2017 #winelover agaist cancer is the  Balkan Fashion Week, which will broadcast the launch of the campaign live from Sofia to Paris,  Barcelona, ​​New York, London, Moscow, Tokyo, Lisbon, Milan and others.
