Rioja re-organisation

Sun 23 May 2004

The Rioja Regulatory Council (RRC) has announced the creation of a new professional body which now involves both the growers and the producer. This new body will be known as the Organisacion Interprofessional del Vino de Rioja (OIPVR). The RRC will maintain the day-to-day management of the DO but by involving both the wineries and growers in the decision making for the region it is hoped that the RRC can ensure long stability and regulate fluctations in supply and demand.
