The Interparliamentary Assembly of the CIS Member Nations has approved a model law "On Viticulture and Winemaking" to establish equal legal, economic, technological, and organizational foundations for the viticulture industry in Commonwealth countries. The law aims to regulate wine production and circulation, and will allow the wine sector to develop and increase exports. The law is advisory in nature and will be used by the parliaments of CIS IPA member states to develop and adopt domestic regulatory legal acts. Russia adopted a similar law in December 2019.
