The union and the strength of the European Wine Cities is the tool that we have to defend with one voice the interests of the European local administrations economically linked to the wine.
Recevin – European Network of Wine Cities was created in 2009 with the aim of defending, with a single voice, the interests of territories whose economy and culture are strongly associated with wine. Recevin provides a common platform to exchange experiences, contacts and partnership.
RECEVIN has the support of the National Wine Associations present in most of the 11 country members of the network (Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Spain, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal and Serbia), that result in the strength of nearly 600 cities across Europe.
Main objectives:
- to defend the richness of wine regions and their designations of origin;
- reinforce its political action in order to intensify its reputation and presence with the European institutions;
- give voice to wine regions in the European Parliament;
- increase synergies with the Assembly of European Viticultural Regions (AREV) and the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV).
