The “wine industry” applaud the regulation of “Wines of Spain”.
The “wine industry” applaud the regulation of “Wines of Spain”.
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónThe Association of Spanish Wine Cellars (AVIMES) and the Wine Spanish Federation (FEV) have positively valued the proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture of regulating the trade mark “Wines of the Land of the Vineyards of Spain”, as they have both shown in their press releases.
Cheers!

Ver mensaje de Paco HigónPaco,
what does this mean ?
will it have any repercussions for the consumer ?
Re: The “wine industry” applaud the regulation of “Wines of Spai
Ver mensaje de RayQNope, except for those who don’t know the Spanish wine regions.... The idea is to ";sell"; the name os Spain as a ";good"; wine producer.... as it happens with Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile.... and so on... It’s what we call an ";umbrella trademark"; (does it make any sense in English?)
Re: The “wine industry” applaud the regulation of “Wines of Spai
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónYes we know all about ";umbrellas"; over here !!
Re: The “wine industry” applaud the regulation of “Wines of Spai
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónThis seems a bit silly. What information does this text convey other than ";Product of Spain,"; which is already on the wine labels. Certainly Spain needs to do a much better job in marketing its wine. This action by itself seems a particulary facile approach, and I hope it is not a substitute for doing the real work that is necessary.

Ver mensaje de WaltZalenskiI agree with you. What does this mean in terms of quality to the consumer? For that I can understand the only thing that this label shows is that the wine is produced in Spain ( I assume that the regulations have to be very flexible in terms of grape varieties, aging, etc. in order to have a lot of wine with this label)
Is not this label going in the opposite way to the vinos de pago one?
Re: The “wine industry” applaud the regulation of “Wines of Spai
Ver mensaje de litoGood points. This idea might be a little inconsistent with D.O designations too. I thought such designations were intended to be a key sign of quality.
Another problem I have is that this approach may lead consumers to think that all Spanish wines are similar, blurring the huge diversity of wines produced in the widely disparate geographies of the country that has more vineyards than any other in the world.
I do not pretend to fully understand this new idea. Let us hope that it makes more sense than it appears to.
Re: Aparently ...
Ver mensaje de WaltZalenski... Europeans regulations prevent from displaying year and grape varieties unless there is some ";D.O."; or something for the wine. If this new ";thing"; allows plane producers to be able to add more info to their labels, it could be a nice thing. Otherwise, I, as you guys, see no much purpose on it, since I do not thing that the best wines will be under the denomination ";Wine of Spain";. Unfortunately, I do not know the regulation more.
Off I go!!! but this time only for the weekend
