“At IVES we believe in the free access to research outputs for everybody, in addition without charging any fees to the authors. We are convinced that free information contributes to the advancement of society in general and viticulture and enology in particular. With our 3 online media, we offer an independent platform to support education, communication, research and production in all facets of the grape-wine industry.

Our vision is shared by our members and partners who support us through their contributions. IVES is an innovative and ambitious venture allowing us to meet the current and future challenges in viticulture and enology.”
