Symposium of the Japan Vineyard Association

Jun.24

I participated in the symposium of the Japan Vineyard Association (JVA) held at the Yayoi Auditorium of the University of Tokyo.

 

 

JVA is an incorporated association consisting of wine-related companies, mainly Domaine wineries that grow their own grapes, viticulturists, and grape saplings.

 

 

My company is also a member.

 

 

With the rapid increase in the number of wineries in Japan, the shortage of grape seedlings is becoming more serious.

 

 

In addition, the problem of many vineyards affected by the virus being left unattended has also become apparent.

 

 

Also, there are many problems of vineyard maintenance due to global warming, but there are almost no systematic measures.

 

 

JVA is working hard to address these issues with volunteers from Japan wineries.

 

I was surprised to see many representatives of famous wineries at today’s venue.

 

 

It was a four-hour symposium, but time flew by.

I learned a lot.

 I look forward to the future activities of the JVA
