Generation Riesling

The German Young Winemakers' Association was founded by the DWI in 2006. The first wine presentation with 25 German winemakers took place in London on 8 June 2006. The main aim at the time was to modernise the outdated image of German wines in the UK with the young generation of winemakers. The network serves to establish contacts and develop ideas. The members, who are no more than 35 years old, are expected to have excellent training, an international outlook, a willingness to take on responsibility and a willingness to act as image bearers.

Generation Riesling - Mitglieder mit Logo

The emphasis on Riesling is defined as follows: Riesling is the leading German grape variety; Riesling = Germany; Riesling is synonymous with all other varieties; anyone can join, even if they rely on other varieties. The 15th anniversary was celebrated in mid-2021. With 550 members, GR is the largest young winemakers' association in the world. Over 300 members have since had to leave the association because they had exceeded the age limit. For many, membership had been "a decisive career springboard".
