A European Union funded three-year campaign to promote and educate Asian wine lovers on sustainable wines from Italy and Spain has been rolled out, the main target markets include China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam.
This project was born from the joint work of the Italian Consorzio Tutela Vini d’Abruzzo, Consorzio Barbera d’Asti and Vini del Monferrato, together with the Regulatory Board of the La Mancha Designation of Origin in Spain.
Financed by the European Union, the campaign was supposed to have started last year and would last for 3 years.
The aims of the campaign are to increase knowledge of the participating wine appellations and to promote and educate Asian consumers on European sustainable wines.
