2008年10月，由中国酿酒工业协会主办，中华人民共和国卫生部、国资委、发改委、质监总局、工商总局、环保总局共同支持举办的首届世界酒业大会将在北京举办。目前，世界酒业大会组委会透露，为了成功举办首届世界酒业大会，大会将与2008(第八届)中国国际啤酒、饮料制造技术及设备展览会（China Brew & China Beverage 2008）同期举行。

中国一直以来都是酒行业的生产和消费大国，历史悠久的酿造史、丰富繁多的酒种类以及独特的工艺技术吸引着世界各地酒业界同仁们的关注。多年来，经过产业结构的调整，发酵酒（黄、啤、葡）占到酒类总产量90%以上，白酒产量基本得到控制，低度白酒占到白酒产量的80%左右，啤酒产量已接近4000万千升，连续6年居世界第一位，葡萄酒产量多年来保持20%以上的增长，全汁葡萄酒已经成为主流。中国酒业的国际影响正日益扩大，中国酒的国际地位正在逐步确立。

值此之际，中国酿酒工业协会从2007年开始酝酿举办世界性的酒业大会，暂以“酒—经济·环境·文化”为主题，与酒业界的国际组织、国际区域性组织以及世界各地的同业朋友们欢聚在经过奥林匹亚精神洗礼的北京，了解国家相关部委负责人就酒业发展的政策及未来走向的权威解读；与相关国际组织、国际区域组织以及各国组织、国际知名酒业企业领袖就大会主题及有关议题深入探讨，找寻当今世界酒业界发展面临的新问题，探求在全球经济一体化进程不断加速的今天酒业企业间的合作与融合之道，寻求行业发展与经济增长、环境改善、文化融通以及承担社会责任等问题矛盾中的对策。

中国国际啤酒、饮料制造技术及设备展览会是亚洲最具影响力的行业盛会，自第一届举办以来，展览会以其巨大的市场潜力吸引着全球的目光，阵容超强的专业买家、高端产品和尖端技术、全方位的宣传和推广、专业的服务和展会管理一直是展览会成功的硬核。2008(第八届)中国国际啤酒、饮料制造技术及设备展览会（China Brew & China Beverage 2008）本着拓展商务平台、行业聚焦世界顶尖技术、直接接触全球目标买家、成就企业再创明日辉煌的目的，与世界酒业大会合作，力求最大程度上的双赢。
