winegrowers
Over the centuries, and just like the countryside it winds its
way across,
the Alsace wine region has progressively increased and enhanced
its own natural advantages.
The re-birth of Alsace viticulture came three centuries later,
after the First World War, when winegrowers adopted a policy
of "quality first" and decided to produce wines
only from the traditional, high-quality grape varieties. From
1945 onwards, this policy was reinforced by delimitation of
the vineyard area, and by strict enforcement of production
and vinification legislation.
Finally, these efforts were officially rewarded by Appellation
d'Origine Contrôlée status : AOC Alsace in 1962,
AOC Alsace Grand Cru in 1975 and AOC Crémant d'Alsace
in 1976.Today, federated into the CIVA*, producers and merchants
alike combine their efforts to promote the general image of
Alsace wines throughout the world.
