“…Appellations of Origin), a government branch established to administer the AOC process for "high quality" wines, was established (Stanziani, 2004;Simpson, 2011 were more productive, easier to grow and more resistant to diseases. They required less winegrowing experience, less pesticides and less capital (Paul, 1996).…”

The EU wine market is heavily regulated. Despite the many distortions in the wine market as a consequence, reforming the regulations has proven difficult. This paper analyses the political economy mechanism that created the existing set of wine regulations. We document the historical origins of the regulations and relate these to political pressures that resulted from international integration, technological innovations and economic developments.

“…But even before the turn of the century resistant strains were developed to revive the industry, leading the French state to view "artificial" production of wines and brandies as illegitimate. Consequently, in 1905 a comprehensive food code was developed which not only defined quality standards but also established the basis for the controlled designation of origin, which even today is used to certify cognac and wines from certain geographical areas such as Champagne or Bordeaux (Stanziani, 2004).…”

Resumo Para o Brasil urbano, a Primeira Guerra Mundial foi o disparador de uma dramática crise alimentar que trouxe consigo um aumento massivo de falsificações, gerando enorme celeuma em meio ao grande público. No alvo das críticas estavam as autoridades sanitárias, evidentemente incapazes de reprimir a fraude. O texto abrange o período da Primeira República e demostra que desde a sua proclamação a questão da regulação do comércio alimentar fazia parte das políticas sanitárias, mas que sua institucionalização foi seguidas vezes postergada em razão da existência de outras prioridades. Isso mudou apenas com as reformas sanitárias dos anos 1920, o que permite identificar a crise alimentar da Primeira Guerra Mundial como ponto decisivo para a responsabilização do Estado brasileiro nesse âmbito.

“…Finally, in 1935, a law created the Appellations d'Origine Contrôlées (AOC) that combined several of the earlier regulations: it restricted production not only to regional specific origins (through areas' delimitation) but also to specific production criteria as grape variety, minimum alcohol content and maximum vineyards yields (Stanziani, 2004;Simpson, 2011) tariffs and quotas to protect them against Algerian wine. However, the French government was not willing to impose tariffs on Algerian wines, as it would have hurt the interests of French citizens overseas and because it was inconsistent with the integration of the Algerian colony as…”

Between 1880 and 1930 Algerian wine production grew dramatically. Equally spectacular is the decline of Algerian wine production: today, Algeria produces and exports little wine. This paper analyzes the causes of the rise and the fall of the Algerian wine industry. There was an important bi-directional impact between developments of the Algerian wine sector and French regulations. French regulations had a major impact on the Algerian wine industry. Vice versa, the growth of the Algerian wine industry triggered the introduction of important wine regulations in France at the beginning of the 20 th century and during the 1930s. Important elements of these regulations are still present in the European Wine Policy today.
