Vignerons indépendants de France

Each year, VIF arranges a number of wine fairs (Salon des vins) in different cities in France.

Founded in 1978, the organization was known as the confédération nationale des caves particulières (abbreviated CNCP.

In English: national confederation of wine producers), chaired by François Chambovet.

In 2003, the group's theme was changed, to help unite independent producers and bottlers.

The national Confederation is based in Paris, where the Steering Committee serves as the representative of the vignerons indépendants among the trade unions.
