I am a member of the Academie Internationale du Vin (AIV). Founded in 1971, the AIV has 122 members from 15 nations and acts as the wine conscience of the world. I was admitted to the AIV in 1999 and in 2006 was promoted to the highest rank of membres titulaires. The AIV is preparing a book written by several of its members, to which I am contributing a chapter on a favourite subject: Greek grape varieties. For more information visit: www.academievin.com.
