The most publicised area of 'wine law' concerns trade marks and geographical indications. 

However, there are many more areas of the wine industry - both day-to-day, and once-off - where specialist industry advice can make a big difference.

These areas include:
•  purchase and sale of businesses;
•  agreements for grape supply / purchase, contract winemaking, bulk wine supply, etc;
•  local and overseas agency and distributor agreements;
•  labelling issues (registration and infringement of trade marks; ownership of copyright
    in labels; prescribed information - e.g. standard drinks, etc);
•  geographical indications;
•  trading terms;
•  "the fine print" - terms and conditions for the sale of your product;
•  purchase of vineyard and winemaking goods and services;
•  wine equalisation tax (WET);
•  liquor licensing.
 
Omond & Co has significant wine industry experience in all these areas.
