The South African Wine & Spirit Exporters’ Association has not only streamlined
its name to Wines of South Africa – as it is known internationally – but intends
redefining itself in the new year.

A general members meeting will be held in early January to ratify a change in
the structure of WOSA from an export association to a Section 21 non-profit
company, according to CEO Su Birch, who took over the post in May this year.

"We do not expect any major problems with this conversion. At the same
time we will be restructuring the board from 12 to a maximum of 17, who will
also be more representative of the entire industry.

Representation would be based on one representative for every 7.5% of export
volumes, aggregated over the past two years – and could be made up of individual
wineries or groups with the same goals or types of operation.
