The OIV patronage to symposia may be granted to meetings, seminars, conferences and other meetings of a scientific and technical nature organised by members of the Organisation or related organisations.
IMPORTANT:
Within the framework of the OIV’s Strategic Plan 2025-2029, and recent decisions of its Executive Committee, the OIV will be undertaking a review of its rules and procedures for sponsorships and patronage. Pending and subject to the outcome of that review, the OIV will suspend the grant of patronage requests for wine and vitivinicultural spirits competitions from 31 December 2025.
Application criteria
-

Timeline for selection
