FIVS

Colleagues in the AIDV-IWLA are so important to maintain the integrity of the wine sector in safety and reputational terms. Some AIDV colleagues are members of FIVS or collaborate with us, ensuring our important global advocacy is founded on a strong basis. FIVS was delighted to support this important gathering and take useful learnings from the engagements.

Thanks to Vincent Bascou of Henri de Villamont for the great introduction to the complexities of Burgundy winemaking and its markets and challenges. We discussed a range of issues on which FIVS advocates for its members. The most pressing is the urgent need for a consistent interpretation of the incoming EU wine labelling rules among EU Member States. And we touched on other opportunities and challenges such as changing consumer preferences like ‘lo and no’ to GenZ, ‘the Insta-generation’ preference for a more inclusive wine experience. All in the beautiful setting of their autumnal vineyard. Merci! @Francois Schenk @European Commission DG Trade

We are honoured to have participated in the OIV - International Organisation of Vine and Wine “The Global Reference for Vine and Wine” 45th World Congress in Dijon this week, celebrating their centenary milestone. A big thank you to the OIV for hosting such an inclusive and informative event, uniting diverse wine and vine interests from 50 member states and progressing critical resolutions on wine labelling and product analytical limits. Special congratulations to John Barker on the adoption of the new 5-year Strategic Plan for the OIV. We are pleased to see the new strategy emphasises expanding and deepening external relationships and creating a dynamic forum for sectoral stakeholders to engage on strategic issues. This forward-thinking approach resonates with us as we believe that robust collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential for maintaining relevance in a rapidly evolving world. Together we can ensure that OIV standards are both impactful and practical. Here's to a future of continued innovation and cooperation! 🍇🍷🌍 #viticulture #collaboration #wineindustry #OIV100

✨The vital role of Observers for intergovernmental organisations✨ We were thrilled to welcome CAC Chair Steven Wearne to our FIVS members’ meetings. In his presentation, Steve stressed the vital role observers have to play in: - Sharing data, intelligence, and insights into how food safety control systems are working, their pressure points, and emerging priorities. This helps Codex identify & prioritise new work. 📊🔺 - Sharing technical expertise to help ensure Codex standards are fit for implementation. 🔍👍🏼 - Supporting the deployment of Codex standards in the real world. 🚀🌍 FIVS has been a #CodexAlimentarius observer since 1986. As an active participant, today’s strategic dialogue helps strengthen and focus FIVS' inputs to inform a significant stakeholder in global food safety and quality standards. 🛡️🌱 Tim Ryan - Ignacio Sánchez Recarte - Charles Jefferson - Julie Hesketh-Laird
