Wine Council

The Organic Trade Association’s Wine Council serves to protect and promote organic in the wine sector, with a particular focus on wines made from organic grapes. The Council provides a forum for collective advocacy on policies and regulations affecting this business sector, education for stakeholders across the domestic three-tier wine system, and discussion of issues related to imports and exports, including equivalency agreements. It also addresses current and future challenges critical to the growth and success of organics in the wine industry.
