Threat to France’s collection of grape varieties. Are you interested in helping?

By Luiz Alberto on November 20, 2013 in #winelover

Fellow #winelovers,

We have a very important task this month!

“I’m sure all wine lovers are interested in preserving France’s unique collection of grape varieties. The collection is under threat. It would be great if all 12,000+ wine lovers signed this petition.” Jim Budd

We worked yesterday on getting it translated to several different languages to make it easier for you to understand. Thank you so much to everyone of you who is helping with the project. Here are the links we have so far:

Le Conservatoire de cépages du domaine de Vassal est aujourd’hui menacé. (French – Jim Budd)

We must protect our ampelographic heritage! (English – Vincent Pétré)

PROTEGENDO NOSSO PATRIMÔNIO AMPELOGRÁFICO NO DOMAINE DE VASSAL (Portuguese – Karin Luize De Carvalho)

Petitie om Frans wijnerfgoed te behouden (Dutch – Mariëlla Beukers)

Musíme chrániť svetové (naše) ampelografické dedičstvo (Slovak – Peter Handzus)

La collezione di Vitigni francesi e’ a rischio. Puoi essere d’aiuto? (Italian – Sarah May)

Protejamos el “Louvre del Vino” (Spanish – Yolanda O. de Arri)

DOMAINE DE VASSAL – Rettung der größte ampelographischen Sammlung der Welt (German – Jan Kiegland)

Translation into Serbian… Petition (Serbian – Tomislav Ivanovic)

Επειδή οι οινόφιλοι δεν έχουν σύνορα, υπογράψτε και εσείς για το Domaine de Vassal! (Greek, Lily Dimitriou – Grigoris Michailos Aiws)

If your language is not here and you want to help by translating it… please send me a note!

To go directly to the petition (in French): Défense Vassal

We need to get 5,000 signatures until the end of the month. Please help!

Thank you,

Luiz Alberto, #winelover

As a proud European, we must all support our heritage of France’s collection of grape varieties.
