Welcome to FIVS!

Since 1951, FIVS has been promoting and defending the interests of the alcohol beverage industry on an international scale. FIVS is a worldwide federation designed to represent the wine, beer and spirits sectors.

We work to promote a successful industry in an environment free from trade-distorting factors of all kinds. We also provide an ideal forum to encourage the exchange of information among our members.
