WINE REGION NAMES
Protect Wine Region Names:
Location Matters.
There are 1+ million wine producers in the world, producing nearly 3 billion cases of wine each year, according to the International Organization of Vine and Wine. As consumers navigate this ever-expanding world, the information on wine labels is vital. It tells consumers what they are buying and what they are drinking and should accurately reflect the wine’s true location of origin. Some countries, however, allow the misuse of wine region names. Research finds that a growing number of consumers want wine labels to accurately reflect the true place of origin.
