Abstract

SummaryThe article deals with the production of wine in the European Community since 1975. The Common Wine Policy of the Community is part of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EC. Production of wine has increased in the Community at an average of 1 per cent a year since the beginning of the 1960s. At the same time consumption has remained stable which has resulted in a permanent surplus in wine. The policies of the EC aim to cope with this surplus and reduce it. The structure of wine production, the price system and the intervention procedures taken by the Community bodies are analysed in the article. The success of these efforts to control, reorganize and restructure the production of wine is discussed and evaluated.
