The generic body for Bordeaux wines, the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB), has joined
the ranks of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust's (WSET) Corporate Patrons.
The CIVB has worked with the Trust in the past, offering study tours to WSET tutors. As part of the patronage, it will be running courses for both trade and consumers under the Ecole du Vin de Bordeaux banner.
The Conseil has joined as a bronze Patron, and its UK representative will be based in the WSET's building near London Bridge, the International Wine & Spirit Centre. The CIVB is the 21st patron.
