Winegrowing

So what has winegrowing got to do with the rural youth? What indeed… young winegrowers live in the countryside and are young people with their roots in the countryside. And they live from what ripens in this countryside, from the grapes. What’s true for farming is also true for winegrowing: it creates work and offers young people chances for the future.

The BDL sees itself as the representatives of the interests of the winegrowing profession and stands up for the specific needs of apprentices, young entrepreneurs and employees in winegrowing in the face of politics and the public. But we also work long-term towards the realisation of our goals, such as a winegrowing industry that has a future and is competitive, blanket coverage management, a reliable long-term political framework, transparency of winegrowing politics and the deconstruction of bureaucracy.

In the BDL we stick up for young winegrowers to motivate them to self-confidently represent their interests and stances, to get involved in political discussions and to actively contribute towards a political winegrowing framework.

The examination of the future of winegrowing

is an important issue for the BDL. This branch of the economy represents chances for the future for many young people who would like to live and work in the rural regions of Germany. The BDL strives towards making winegrowing and its related areas more secure for the future. This includes the vor- und nachgelagert Bereiche of winegrowing/rural economics just as much as alternative sources of income. The networking of all those involved in and between the winegrowing regions is one of the most important goals.

The most important concerns for the future of winegrowing, from the point of view of the BDL, are set out in the current policy document.
