Following an introduction to the OIV and its activities by the various heads of unit, they were received by Director General Jean-Marie Aurand who stressed the original character of this training and the openings to which it gives rise, thanks to the network of universities and companies associated with it.
This diploma is unique in that its field of study is at one and the same time single-sector, multidisciplinary, itinerant, international and experimental, while drawing on one of today’s most highly developed networks in the wine world. Since 1987, more than 500 “movers and shakers” in the wine world have received this training.
Before the members of this class left OIV headquarters, Jean-Marie Aurand insisted on the international dimension of a course which every year enables students to discover more than 20 key countries in Planet Wine, situated on 5 continents.
