Ignacio Sánchez, Secretary General of CEEV (Comité Européen des Entreprises Vins - European Committee of Wine Companies), spoke today during the press conference at the European Parliament in Brussels for the 56th International Wine and Spirits Exhibition.

Barker (Oiv): focusing on the cultural value of wine to tackle complexity
“In a general context characterized by increasing complexity, identifying long-term trends is rather difficult. While we can mention excess production, at the same time consumer trends are also evolving and have different features depending on the products, regions and markets in question. This is why it is important not only to ensure we can innovate our offering but also promote the cultural value that distinguishes our wines." So said the Director General of the OIV (International Organization of Vine and Wine) John Barker today at the press conference in Brussels presenting Vinitaly.
