Roma Bar Show 2024: Navigating the Future of the Beverage Industry and Mixology

This year, we once again attended the Roma Bar Show 2024 as visitors to explore the latest trends and innovations in the spirits sector. This event is a reference point for the beverage industry and the world of mixology.

The program was rich with appointments, experiences, masterclasses, tastings, and numerous exhibition areas dedicated to the spirits industry. Here, we had the opportunity to discover new brands and their products, as well as to meet distinguished names and internationally renowned speakers. 

 

A Comprehensive and Engaging Experience

This fourth edition was a true full immersion experience, allowing us to meet and exchange opinions with many of our current clients and connect with dozens of brands and industry operators within the 10,000 square meters of exhibition space spread over three floors. It was an engaging and educational experience, essential for understanding the key current topics driving the industry.

Current and Emerging Trends in the Spirits Market

The gin market continues to be a prominent trend, with the emergence of new and interesting brands experimenting with various botanicals. This phenomenon is accompanied by growing enthusiasm for innovations in mixing and distillation, leading to the creation of gins with increasingly complex and distinctive aromatic profiles.

In the Italian market, there is a constant increase in interest and importation of whisky in all its forms. This spirit, beloved by enthusiasts, is increasingly winning over traditional consumers as well.

We have noticed a renewed interest in vodka, which is experiencing a renaissance thanks to the introduction of advanced production techniques and the exploration of unusual ingredients. Moreover, it is impossible to overlook the rise of no-alcohol solutions, which are becoming increasingly refined and appreciated. These products, which credibly and deeply replicate the aromas and flavors of every type of distilled spirit, offer sophisticated and varied alternatives for those who wish to enjoy the pleasure of an alcohol-free drink.

It is also impossible not to mention the rise, increasingly appreciated and present, of agave-based products. Among these, Tequila has become a true ambassador, having conquered our latitudes in recent years, along with Mezcal and its smoky notes, which are increasingly making inroads into the Western market.

Our participation in the fourth edition of the Roma Bar Show 2024, “Take your time to shake,” was, as always, an important opportunity to find inspiration, identify trends in the spirits sector, and gain a comprehensive view of a market that is fundamental to us.

Exploration and curiosity are the main drivers that allow us to consistently offer the best aesthetic and technical solutions, providing high-quality, cutting-edge proposals that meet our clients’ needs.

NEOS – our trailblazing technology to reduce the carbon footprint impact

Sustainability is a leading theme within the industrial production landscape. A theme that has been at the heart of Tapi’s values and strategy for many years. Through our trailblazing technology, NEOS, we commit to the development of closures to protect the environment, reduce waste and improve efficiencies on a daily basis. 

Based on this exciting project, we constantly seek out new materials, where the petroleum-based are leaving the field open to raw materials derived from eco-sustainable sources with parity of performance. Potential sources are quite varied, including plant-based and biomass materials as well as fermentation waste and others. The advantages of adopting the NEOS technology are fundamental to making sustainable, responsible closures – NEOS reduces a product’s carbon footprint and its impact on the environment at the end of its life cycle. It promotes the use of renewably sourced raw materials at all levels and boosts research into new product design and development approaches, by focusing on the origin of the raw material and its performance.  

NEOS stands as a marker for the technology introduced by Tapi more than five years ago. It proves our pledge to the environment through sustainable solutions for the closure sector.

Fabric and wood, a perfect combination, between Textil label and our Signature closures

Customising one of the closures in the Signature line with a fabric label means bringing together tradition and modernity to bring out the materiality of both these elements, creating miniature masterpieces with a hand-crafted feel.

The beauty of wood is one of the cornerstones of the Signature Wood line. An elegant material that stands the test of time, suitable both for rounded shapes as well as for regular, geometric ones. A stylish detail which gives each piece its own unfailing uniqueness, capable of surprising at the very first glance. Conceived and crafted as carved wooden sculptures with exquisite customisable inserts, the closures in the Signature line form part of Tapì’s premium range, designed for the most ambitious brands of spirits, condiments and cosmetics.

Closures that bring out the expressiveness of wood, highlighting its natural grain, playfully emphasising the elegance of its shapes, finishes and details.

Textil Label is a strikingly modern custom design applied to the head and side of our wooden closures – a detail that lends materiality to and enhances the appeal of the closure.

Available in different colours, the closure can be made even more unique by embroidering graphics and logos onto the fabric label. The union of wood and fabric, symbols of tradition, gives rise to products capable of suggesting a sense of tactile warmth: a unique result that showcases the craftsmanship used for each form of packaging.

Customize your aluminum closure – every finish tells a story

Aluminum is a material widely used to enhance forms and colors in the fields of architecture, furnishings and industrial design. It lends expression to an object, making it appealing and luminous.

As well as being light weight and durable, it can take on different shapes, colors, thickness and textures. All this means it’s ideal for the packaging sector and more specifically for closure customization. Aluminum’s flexibility is the perfect starting point for the creation of exclusive closures, while offering the potential for customizations that give a product a distinctive look.

Aluminum is used in the closure sector to convey qualities such as technology and modernity, along with an elegance of style.

Designers and developers love how easy it is to work and how it can take on an array of creative themes through stylistic interpretations.  Surfaces can be embossed or engraved, or have images printed on them in a host of colors. And they can even be anodized or given a wet-look finish. We offer a range of finishes and customizations for our aluminum closures, including embossing, debossing and Vintage effect. More than a simple finish – Vintage Effect’s a unique treatment to replicate natural ageing, making the seal one of a kind.

Full details of our aluminum closure customizations are at this link.
