Should Wine Also Become UNESCO Heritage? Yes, But New Certification Criteria Must Be Imagined

Anche il vino diventa Patrimonio Unesco? Ok, ma si dovrebbero immaginare nuovi criteri di certificazione

EU Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen has proposed that the culture of wine and vine be officially recognized as UNESCO World Heritage, citing its deep roots in European and Italian tradition. While wine-related practices like Pantelleria’s 'vite ad alberello' and various vineyard landscapes are already protected, this new proposal seeks a broader, more unified cultural designation for the industry.
