Lecture Wine Legislation

05 Feb, 10:00-11:45, @Podere La Chiesa

Whether it occurred by accident or design, the invention of wine has been lauded as a fundamental achievement in human history. Wine’s preeminent role in sacred and secular life throughout the millennia is celebrated in literature, arts, religious rituals, and the culinary field. Wine production and trade have created great economic wealth, it has been the cause of many conflicts and spurred territorial conquests. For thousands of years, wine has played an important role as an agricultural product that ensures a livelihood for producers and distributors, and a legal framework has always accompanied this. There are rules concerning how to trade the wine, provide information to consumers, enhance territorial linkages through quality schemes, and the role played by group producers and associations. We will focus on this last part, the legal dimension, to provide an initial tool kit pack to navigate the intricated existing rules.
