Chairman of the Comité National des Interprofessions des Vins (CNIV), Vice-Chairman of the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB) and now Chairman of Vinitech-Sifel, Bernard Farges is also a Bordeaux winegrower with a passion for his trade and a strong commitment to his industry.
"I'm very honoured by the trust you've placed in me and delighted to be taking on this new role as Chairman of the Vinitech-Sifel international trade show, an event whose importance for our industry, which is undergoing major restructuring, I fully appreciate. It's a key event for our industry, which is in the midst of a major overhaul. The sheer scale of the event and its international resonance mean that it brings together and connects the professions, provides a framework for sharing knowledge and opens up new horizons. The forthcoming gathering will be very important, because after months of crisis, questioning and effort, we need to work on tomorrow's solutions... And the response to this renewal is bound to be collective."
