VDP Celebrates Centennial in 2010
The VDP, the world's oldest association of fine wine estates, celebrates its 100th birthday in 2010.
Since its founding in 1910, the VDP has been committed to setting high standards in German wine culture.
VDP president Steffen Christmann, in commenting on the VDP's plans for 2010, remarked: "During the century of its existence, our association has achieved tremendous recognition among wine enthusiasts and professionals alike. Today, the image of German wines and the high quality of wines produced from the finest vineyard sites has reached a level comparable with that of the heyday of German wines a century ago. Many a fine German wine enjoys cult status. With our centennial events in 2010, we want to celebrate all these achievements - for one whole year."
The 200 members will celebrate this special birthday with a series of activities, which you can view in detail at http://www.vdp.de/en/100-jahre-vdp/a-special-birthday-in-2010/.
