These sixth Clos Vougeot Meetings, which took place on October 4, 5, 6, 2012, target the theme “Crises, mutations, innovations in the future of the wine world”. Around thirty speakers, national and international, academics or professionals from the world of wine presented the historical developments over the long term in world vitiviniculture. They identified and analyzed the different moments of rupture or crisis that have generated, from Antiquity to the present day, transformations in the ways of producing, selling or consuming wine around the world.
All the historical examples mentioned show that periods of unrest are also those which generate the most decisive innovations in the vineyard and in the cellar. And we see, over the ages, that the mutations and crises of vitiviniculture are in constant interaction with those of societies.
