(Wines&Vines) - Members of the International Wine Law Association convened in Rioja from Sept. 29 until Oct. 2 to share expertise and advise about “Agreements Between Producers and Suppliers.” The program for the annual conference suggested that conflicts between winegrape buyers and sellers are similar—and unfortunately common—in wine-producing regions around the world. The association, officially Association Internationale des Juristes du Droit de la Vigne et du Vin, or AIDV introduction/index.html, claims more than 350 individual and organization members in 25 countries, providing a forum for the study and discussion of legal issues concerning the viticultural community and the wine trade worldwide.
