8.9.13 Consejo Contributes 50,000 to Vinoble

The Consejo Regulador will support Vinoble 2014 with 50,000 euros and will soon sign a collaboration agreement with co-sponsor the City Council of Jerez for the XIII event scheduled for the 1st -3rd of June. Vinoble, which celebrates the best of the world’s sweet and fortified wines, is now regarded as a very important event for the city, promoting Sherry and boosting tourism and commerce.



The mayoress of Jerez, Maria Jose Garcia Pelayo, pointed out during discussions on next year’s civic calendar, that 2014 will be an important year for wine in Jerez and that the central government and the Junta de Andalucia have also committed their support for the event, though final confirmation is still awaited before promotion can begin. She also said that a national congress of winemakers will take place at the same time.


Fifteen bodegas which form a part of the Ruta de los Vinos y Brandies of the Jerez area will be coordinated by the Consejo, and the eventual winner of this year’s Copa de Jerez (an international competition for restaurants to create dishes to marry with Sherry) will also be involved.
