Regional Wine associations & other related organizations play a very important role in the industry. The primary reason for the need & existence of such associations is so they can represent the individual units of the industry in that region, such as grape growers, family-owned vineyards, wineries, etc.

These non-profit bodies act in the interest of all member units by helping them grow & sustain their businesses and at the same time helping them advance by providing funds and extensive research aid.
