Wine Place and Origin - An On-line Worldwide Petition  Add/Read Comments

In an effort to gain consumer support for the clear and accurate labelling of wine, producers from seven well-known wine regions launched the Wine Place & Origins on-line petition today. Aimed at wine consumers around the globe, the petition asserts the importance of location to wine and articulates the need to protect place names as a priority of consumers and wine regions alike.

Protect Place
"When it comes to wine, there is no ingredient more important than location. The land, air water and weather where grapes are grown are what make each wine unique.

That is why we, as wine enthusiasts, want clear label laws. This ensures we know where our wine comes from and protects the sanctity of wine growing regions worldwide.

Please join the Joint Declaration to Protect Wine Place & Origin signatories in demanding that wine labelling laws maintain and protect the integrity of wine growing place names which are fundamental tools for consumers to identify the special wines of the great wine-growing regions."
