Association of Vignerons Indépendants

The Association of Vignerons Indépendants (AVI) is a French organization representing independent winemakers. These are producers who grow their own grapes and craft their wines, focusing on quality and authenticity. The association promotes traditional wine-making practices and advocates for the interests of its members, who often emphasize sustainable and artisanal methods. By supporting independent vineyards, AVI helps preserve regional diversity in wine production and encourages consumers to appreciate the uniqueness of each wine, as opposed to mass-produced varieties. The association also provides resources and support for its members to enhance their business and marketing strategies.
