Why choose us?

Building on an unique combination of academic and scientific collaborations, the BAG Alliance association, launched in 2010, demonstrates the expertise and ambition of the University of Bordeaux’s Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences, the University of Geisenheim, the Australian Wine Research Institute, and the University of Adelaide in research and development of viticulture and oenology, seeking solutions and innovations to combat the consequences of climate change and for viticulture/oenology that is more resilient, sustainable and respectful of the environment and biodiversity.

Furthermore, agriculture, vines and wine play a major role in the regional economy.

Considerable investments are made in the agricultural sector (10% of the regional budget compared to the national average of 4%). New-Aquitaine is the top region in France for the production of fine wines and has more than 70 appellations under the Quality and Origin Identification Sign (SIQO).
