Current Agreements
Early discussions at the New World Wine Producers, later renamed the World Wine Trade Group, identified the possible threats to trade that arose from differing national rules on oenological practices. At the first Zurich meeting it was agreed that such differences should not be a basis for erecting technical barriers to trade.
Below you will find the current negotiated Agreements and their status among WWTG governments.
