International Wine Law

International Wine Law refers to the regulations and agreements that govern wine production, labeling, trade, and quality standards across different countries. It ensures that wines meet specific criteria, such as origin, grape varieties, and winemaking methods. Key components include the protection of geographic indications (like Champagne or Bordeaux) to prevent misuse, as well as standards set by organizations like the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV). These laws aim to protect consumers, promote fair trade, and maintain the integrity of wine as a global agricultural product.
