FAQs

Who finances the interprofession?

The IVBD is financed by a parafiscal tax, set by the Finance Act.

An interprofessional contribution, or rather a compulsory voluntary levy, which we determine and implement after receiving the agreement from the supervisory ministries.

These taxes are collected on wine commercialisation movements.

Our financial grounds rely therefore on the amount of commercialised wine and not on harvested volumes.

What are the missions of the IVBD ?

The IVBD has several economical, technical and promotional missions:

• Promotional: 75% of the whole budget. Valorisation and promotion of the products on various markets is done in the way of collective actions of communication and consumer information.

• Technical: product quality control; creation of technical norms and development-applied research programmes; research and experimentation on the product at various production stages, with the aim of complying with quality, health and environmental requirements.
