41^st World Congress of Vine and Wine
"Shaping the future: Production and Market Challenges"

19 - 23 November 2018
Punta del Este, Uruguay

Presentation

Dear colleagues and friends:

I am pleased to invite you to join us at the 41^st World Congress of Vine and Wine, to be held in Punta del Este, Uruguay between November 19 and 23, 2018. Uruguay is honored to host this unique event that gathers representatives of governments, research institutes and industry from the five continents. Although our country already hosted the Congress in 1995, this will be the first time we organize a world congress since the OIV gained status as an Organization.

The core theme this year will be “Shaping the Future: Production and Market Challenges”, and will address themes decidedly aligned with the OIV’s Strategic Plan, which are relevant for the future of our sector, namely:

• Viticulture and adaptation to environmental challenges
• Enology and natural and essential characteristics of wine
• Consumers’ expectations
• Safety and health

It is in this background that participants and experts from all over the world will invaluably contribute to the process of integrating knowledge, initiatives and actions to promote and develop viticulture in the coming years, in an enabling environment that will foster exchanges and synergies.

Uruguay is a country recognized for its natural environment, the warmth of its people and a strong winemaking tradition. We would be delighted to receive you here and have you help us make this Congress memorable.

Cheers!

José Ma. Lez Secchi
President of Uruguay’s National Institute of Vitiviniculture
President of the Organizing Committee of the 41º World Vineyard and Wine Congress

42nd World Congress of Vine and Wine

42^nd World Congress of Vine and Wine
"Preserve and innovate: Environmental, economic and social expectations"

15 - 19 July 2019
Geneva, Switzerland

Presentation

FOAG’s Welcome Words

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Switzerland, a country with a centuries-old tradition of wine growing, has the honour of inviting you to take part in the 42^nd World Congress Vine and Wine to be held from 15 to 19 July 2019 in Geneva.

A small wine-growing country, but one which offers great diversity, Swiss vineyards are divided into six wine-growing regions: German-speaking Switzerland, Ticino, the Three Lakes area, the Valais region, the canton of Vaud and Geneva. All of them offer a wide range of superb soils, grape varieties and vineyard landscapes. They will be closely involved in running the 42^nd Congress.

For many decades through agricultural research, the Swiss Confederation has been working towards sustainable wine production which meets the challenges posed by our environment.

Under the title "Preserve and innovate: Environmental, economic and social expectations", the scientific work of the Congress will centre around four sessions: wine growing, oenology, economics and law, together with safety and health.

An inaugural session on Monday 15 July, which is open to a wide audience, will have the theme "A reasoned approach to inputs: scientific contributions and consumer perception".

The Organising Committee of the 42^nd World Congress of Vine and Wine and the Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture would like to thank and congratulate Uruguay for holding the 41^st Congress of the OIV in Punta del Este and look forward to welcoming those involved in wine growing throughout the world to Switzerland in 2019.

Bienvenue, Grüezi, Benvenuto, Welcome!

Federal Office of Agriculture (FOAG)

From July 15th to July 19th 2019, Switzerland will host the 42^nd World Congress of Vine and Wine as well as the General Assembly of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). This is a milestone event for global wine producers expected in Geneva for a week.

Each year, a World Congress of Vine and Wine and a General Assembly OIV take place in one of the Member States, bringing together the greatest experts in this field. The first edition of the Congress was held in 1928 in France. Switzerland, a member of the OIV since 1934, has hosted it twice: in 1935 in Lausanne, then 42 years later, in 1977 in Nyon, coinciding with an edition of the Fête des Vignerons.

In October 2016, the General Assembly of International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) in Brazil selected Switzerland for the organisation of its 42^nd Congress and General Assembly in 2019, which coincides with the next Fête des Vignerons. Based on this decision, the Federal Office of Agriculture (FOAG), the official representative of Switzerland at the OIV, entrusted the organisation of this event to the Association OIV 2019 established for this purpose.

This 42^nd Congress is a unique opportunity for Swiss vitiviniculture to strengthen its international reputation in terms of research and innovation, to confirm the qualitative positioning of its research, training and indigenous production programs, as well as to maintain international relations, essential for the future of the Swiss wine industry.

It is a unifying project for all Swiss viticulture!
