"The truth is the quality through which things appear as they are". Establishing the truth about wine, is to make clear the benefits of moderate consumption, and at the same time, show the dangers of excessive consumption.
"The Four Truths About Wine" operation, presented in the first edition, is issued to give to wine-makers, and all those who live off wine, precise, reliable arguments to bring to debates. It was also created so that the consumers would no longer be made to feel guilty, without reason, and they would have the power to rediscover, with knowledge of the facts, that which makes wine timeless : its taste, its role in culture and gastronomy, its ability to create social ties and its inseparable contribution to the French way of life.
At the start of the 21st century, it should no longer be possible for a journalist, a doctor, a politician… to attack or defend wine without rigorous proof. We publish "The Four Truths About Wine" regularly to put an end to the dictates and conditions that society imposes, to rediscover the joy of tasting and to rediscover confidence and pride. Today, we call for the right to truth about wine based on scientific fact.

The group of ten is composed of men and women working within the field of wine : wine-makers, organic growers, journalists… individuals who come under fire from anti-wine campaigns and their prohibitionist agendas. They wish to devote a little of their time to re-establish the truth, in complete transparency. They were inspired by the pride of wine-makers and their profession, by their know how and their heritage. This first publication (a Corevi initiative with the support of "l'Academie du vin et du Gout" and Vitisphere.com) is the fruit of their communal labour.
