RESOLUTION OIV-OENO 671C-2024

REVISION OF THE OIV STANDARD FOR INTERNATIONAL WINE AND SPIRITUOUS BEVERAGES OF VITIVINICULTURAL ORIGIN COMPETITIONS

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

IN VIEW OF Article 2, paragraph 2 iv of the Agreement of 3 April 2001 establishing the International Organisation of Vine and Wine,

CONSIDERING that some changes have been introduced regarding draft resolutions already adopted in the past: OIV / ECO 287/2010, OIV-ECO 523-2016, OIV-ECO 647-2020

CONSIDERING the work and proposals of the working group, composed of several delegations and 2 observers, on the revision of the OIV Standard for international wine and spirituous beverages of vitivinicultural origin competitions (Revision of Resolution OIV/CONCOURS 332A/2009 and revision of Resolution OIV/CONCOURS 332B/2009),

CONSIDERING the proposal to collect and process data on wines and the relative evaluation sheets on a centralised basis for the purposes of analysis, organisation and management of the competitions and communication (see the modification to Resolution OIV/CONCOURS 332B/2009),

CONSIDERING the desire of the working group to remove the bronze medal from the system for granting awards described in Article 14, given that it is considered less representative with respect to the silver and gold medals and, moreover, is granted infrequently within the current system,

DECIDES to remove the granting of the bronze medal from Article 14 and from the system of competitions placed under the patronage of the OIV,

DECIDES to revise Article 14 of the OIV Standard for International Wine and Spirituous Beverages of Vitivinicultural Origin Competitions, adopted in 2009, by adding the text in bold and removing the strikethrough text as follows:

• Grand gold - at least 932 points
• Gold - at least 895 points
• Silver - at least 852 points
• Bronze - at least 80 points

The text should read as follows:

• Grand gold - at least 93 points
• Gold - at least 89 points
• Silver - at least 85 points
