During last wine fair Wine Paris, we have organized a conference with the top wine institutions experts. Our topic was : « Is tradition still the future of wine ? » Are traditional winemaking techniques and the rules governing them (AOC, IGP) still in sync with consumer demand ? The development and success of Vins de France, organic and (or) biodynamic wines as well as natural wines would seem to suggest otherwise. Are they a passing phase – and therefore short-lived – or a long-term trend ?
