CIVM

The international wine competition "Concours International des Vins de Montagne" (International Competition for Wines from Mountain Regions) has been organised by the CERVIM since 1991, mostly on an annual basis. Its members are Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Switzerland and Spain. This international organisation with its headquarters in Saint-Vincent in the Italian Aosta Valley was founded in 1987 under the patronage of the OIV. The CIVM is an event for producers from mountain regions, steep slopes and exposed growing areas. The aim is to promote and better exploit the potential of wines from these areas, which often have great cultivation difficulties and high production costs.

In ten categories, the three best rated wines are awarded the prizes Grande Médaille d'Or, Médaille dOr and Médaille d'Argent. The competition was held for the 16th time in July 2008 in Saint-Vincent in the Aosta Valley in northern Italy. A total of 534 wines were presented by 217 producers from eight countries.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
