20-21 march 2023 : European protected wine designations workshop
The EuAWE and VInCI SUDOE project are happy to present the draft programme of the comparativ analysis workshop.
The goal of this workshop is to mobilize and involve economists to brainstorm and work on different research questions : Can we compare the structure and performance of wine regulations and appellations in different EU countries (FR, ES, IT, PT, …) to better understand the functioning and efficiency of their different models? How were these different systems created? What was (and is) the industrial organization of the wine industry behind them and how is it evolving thanks to the current appellation system? What is the relationship between the individual brands and the collective one that represents the PDO? Can we compare different appellation and regulation systems? Which indicators can be used to measure their performance? How should be the different systems be analyzed?
These are some of the questions that could be investigated. More info on the news and event pages
