Foire aux Vins 2025: Complete Guide + The Secret Tool for Distributors
Every autumn, the Foire aux Vins becomes one of the most anticipated events in France, attracting millions of wine lovers into supermarkets and hypermarkets. For customers, it’s the chance to discover new bottles at great prices. For distributors, it’s one of the most profitable times of the year.
But there’s one element that often makes the difference between browsing and buying: in-store tasting. And this is where LeChiller® changes everything.
LeChiller®: A Game-Changer for Distributors During Foire aux Vins
A customer who tastes a wine at the right temperature is far more likely to buy it. Yet, many tastings are still conducted with bottles taken out of fridges (too cold) or ice buckets (inconsistent, messy). The result?
- Flavors muted by over-chilling
- Harsh acidity dominating the palate
- Damaged or wet labels ruining presentation
With LeChiller®, supermarkets and distributors have a simple but powerful tool:
- Precision: Brings wine to its ideal serving temperature in 3–7 minutes
- Respect for aromas: Wines express themselves exactly as the winemaker intended
- Higher conversion: Wines served at the right temperature sell more
For distributors, equipping tasting stands with LeChiller® doesn’t just elevate the customer experience — it directly increases sales.

Why Serving Temperature Decides the Sale
As sommelier Jonathan Belhassein reminds us:
“Serve a white or rosé too cold, and you block the aromas. Too warm, and you lose balance.”
During Foire aux Vins, the same bottle can deliver two completely different impressions:
- Too cold → muted aromas, sharp acidity
- Too warm → flat, lifeless flavors
- Just right → expressive nose, balanced palate, and a satisfied customer who buys
With LeChiller®, distributors make sure every tasting reflects the true personality of the wine.
The Ideal Temperatures (and How LeChiller® Makes It Easy)
- Red wines: 12–18°C (55–65°F)
- White wines: 7–12°C (45–55°F)
- Rosés: 8–10°C (46–50°F)
- Champagnes & sparkling wines: 5–10°C (41–50°F)
Getting this precision with ice buckets or fridges is nearly impossible. With LeChiller®, it’s effortless.
Benefits: More Sales, Less Waste
- Higher conversion: Wines served at the right temperature sell 2–3x more often
- Reduced waste: No need to keep 20 bottles open all day — chill only what’s served
- Premium image: Innovative, eco-friendly technology enhances your brand reputation
