Our Mission Statement was developed during our first meeting in Zurich, Switzerland in June of 1998 and finalized during the meeting in Mendoza, Argentina in 1999. It was amended during our meeting in Cape Town in July of 2002.

It reads:

The Industry Section of the World Wine Trade Group is an informal association of national representatives of the wine industry that is interested in participating in networking and information sharing to provide better access to international wine markets. This group aims to create the opportunities for its industries to achieve growth in the wine markets and to increase responsible wine consumption.
