Wine Law

10 Therefore, when concluding a contract of sale or supply, attention must be paid to a number of fundamental aspects, most of which are governed by the Vienna Convention. Of course, this also applies to online sales (even if with its peculiarities). 7. International Sale Contract: Key Points But what are the key points of an international contract for the sale of wine? Below I will try to hilight some indications taking in example Italy and France as contracting States. Generally the international sales contract model is divided into two parts. We will have one part relating to special conditions and one relating to general conditions. The first one contains agreements concerning the essential requirements of the contract: the formation of the agreement, the indication of the contracting parties, the object, the price, the terms of return and the methods of payment. The second covers the more strictly legal aspects of the contract, such as the choice of the applicable law, the methods of dispute resolution, the guarantees, the manner of termination of the contract. It is clear that the parties to the contract can be modified by the contracting parties according to their specific needs (e.g. online or offline sales, bulk or bottled wine sales, etc.), also taking into account the laws and peculiarities of the respective countries. The model taken into consideration is drawn up with reference to sales of products intended for resale and in which the buyer does not assume the role of final consumer but rather that of seller. Therefore, for example, specific consumer protection measures are not considered, which is another issue of fundamental importance and which would deserve to be discussed in depth. Moreover, the model is designed to regulate individual sales and not continuous supply agreements, which is why it does not include clauses typical of long-term contracts such as price reviews.
