An amazing schedule for the European Wine City 2023: Arev, Farm Europe, Cooperatives Viticoles Fran\u00e7aises, Iter Vitis and Recevin together for 3 days of meetings, exchanges, conferences: all about the European wine sector<\/em> challenges<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toulouse, which has been designated European City of Wine in 2023, is the ideal place to welcome representatives of the European institutions, the regions of Europe and the Member States, the wine sector and academia, to discuss the major challenges facing the wine sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 27th the Summit that will take place at Occitanie Region Headquarter will be articulated on 3 panels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. FIRST PANEL VITICULTURE, BETWEEN CONSTRAINTS AND SOLUTIONS. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viticulture is facing the effects of climate change, with an increase in drought and extreme weather phenomena that are worsening the risk of plant diseases and reducing productivity. At the same time, the European Union is proposing, through new regulations, to drastically reduce the use of plant protection products. How can the European wine sector play a part in these developments? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is a synthesis of environmental, economic and social considerations possible, or is it just a utopian dream? What paths should we take, and what tools should we use? What prospects are offered by precision farming, digitisation and New Genomic Techniques? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. SECOND PANEL SOCIETAL PERCEPTION: WINE DESERVES BETTER THAN A BATTLEGROUND. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine is a central part of European history and culture, but societal perceptions are changing: there is a greater emphasis on quality and a greater awareness of the health aspects of food. To reflect this, wine labelling is also changing: energy and ingredient claims will soon appear on the label (both physical and dematerialised), and health warnings are the subject of much debate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the health of Europeans require a new relationship with wine, a renewed information and education policy, or – as some suggest – a hygienist approach? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. THIRD PANEL EUROPEAN AND WORLDWIDE MARKETS: LEAD OR SUFFER THE MUTATIONS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To anticipate changes in consumption and production, it is important to understand the dynamics underway on the European and world markets, with import and export flows constantly changing, both in terms of quantity and value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will be produced tomorrow for what type of consumption? How is consumption changing, not just in terms of quantity but also in terms of the type of product on offer? Is there just one type of wine being consumed, or are there many? Are red wines destined to decline? Organic wines, sustainable wines, low-alcohol wines, alcohol-free wines… what does the future hold? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 27th evening the Prefecture de Toulouse will host the Iter Vitis award: 15 categories and laureats from all over the European continent and on the 28th the Iter Vitis General Assembly in a Fronton area chateau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
