International Wine Organization calls for ‘sustainable development’ of vines --[Reported by Umva mag]

dijon, France — The International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), a sort of "U.N. of wine" which brings together experts from the sector, called for "sustainable development" of the vine Sunday, following a ministerial meeting in France. "The effects of climate change amplify" the challenges facing the vine, stressed 37 members out of 50 participating in the meeting at the OIV headquarters in Dijon. The signatories encourage "biodiversity reservoirs, such as grape varieties and the entire ecosystem that surrounds them, by limiting soil erosion, capturing carbon ... and reducing waste," adds the ministerial declaration, the first in the history of the organization which is celebrating its centenary this year. The OIV has set itself the "objectives" of "supporting innovation, ambitious, resilient and sustainable cultural and oenological practices ... as well as biodiversity such as the conservation and use of diversity in the vine, the exploitation of new vine varieties and efficient water management." The "sustainability" of vines and wine also applies to "economic and social" matters, explained the director general of the OIV, New Zealander John Barker, at a news conference, stressing the need for the sector to adapt to the decline in wine consumption. Created on November 29, 1924, by eight countries (Spain, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal and Tunisia), the OIV today brings together 50 countries, covering 88% of world wine production, with the notable absence of the United States, which slammed the door in 2001, after the failure of its candidate for its presidency. China will become the 51st member state in November. The organization is not political but brings together technical and scientific experts who exchange information on the sector and try to harmonize standards at the international level.
