State control body for the analytical and organoleptic testing of quality wines with guarantee of origin in South Africa (afrikaans = Wyn en Spiritusraad). The "Integrity & Sustainability" seal confirms the origin and the production according to environmentally friendly guidelines. See Sustainable Wine South Africa. There is also such a body with the same name and function in Argentina.
