Just the normal round of annual vintage festivals, trade shows/tastings... Are you asking about consumer events? By city?
The only thing that draws 'extra' attention to the wine market is when someone goes broke, is accused of adding something illegal to their wine, or when there is some quirky 'human interest' story about something irrelevant. That is, if you don't count the usual press stories about the release price of Grange every May.
Perhaps you'd better post the whole assignment question, that way we won't be getting the wrong end of the stick...
