On April 9th Director-Generals of the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), Mr Qu Dongyu, in Rome and of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), Mr Pau Roca, in Paris, met online in order to comply with general lock-down rules. During this bilateral meeting, the two intergovernmental organisations discussed ways to facilitate closer cooperation.
This close cooperation has been maintained in a number of areas of complementary activities such as health, trade and statistics.
Indeed, the OIV and the FAO have been working together in the development of appropriate standards for vine and grape products and of limits ( contaminants, residues,..) to protect consumer health and to ensure fair practice in food trade, recognising OIV as an observer in the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
The OIV wishes to deepen the excellent cooperation within FAO on safety and quality. Looking to the future, they discussed how to strengthen collaboration between the different Departments of both organisations.
Data on 82 countries over the period 2002-2018 was examined in this study, designed to analyse sparkling wine production and consumption at both world and country level as well as to study international trade dynamics.
“The global sparkling wine market OIV Focus” is an update of the 2014 focus.
In the last twenty years, the sparkling wine market has expanded at a fast pace in response to high global demand. In 2018 world sparkling wine production reached 20 mhl for the first time, with an overall increase of +57% since 2002.
