§ 74561 Wine Commission Composition

Key Takeaways

  • •There is a group called the California Wine Commission made up of 18 wine makers and maybe one regular person.
  • •The wine makers are chosen by other people in the wine business, not based on where they live.
  • •The regular person can be picked by the director from a list of names suggested by the group.
  • •The director and other important people can also be part of the group.

Example

Imagine a group of bakers who make bread. They have a big group to help make bread better in California.

Just like the bakers, the wine makers have their own group called the California Wine Commission. They pick their own members, and sometimes a regular person can join too. The boss of the group and other important people can also be part of it.
