Wine & Law in the European Union Summer School (A Jean Monnet Module）

The Wine & Law in the European Union Summer School is hosted by the University of Reims School of Law as part of the Wine & Law Program. Located in the heart of Champagne, the University of Reims delivers a two-week intense course program, entirely in English, on the legal aspects of wine trade within and with the European Union.

The Summer Course takes place in Reims, a city of major importance in European history. Restaurants, bars, museums, sight-seeing as well as some of the most famous Champagne brands make Reims a joyful destination.

Teachers are all well-known university professors specializing in wine law matters, whereas emphasis is given to practical issues and to the regional and global aspects of wine law.

The Summer School is open to students in law, economics, marketing, business administration, and oenology; to professionals working in the wine and the alcohol beverage industry; to researchers on wine issues; and to public servants working on relevant questions.

The program delivers a University Diploma for students succeeding in final examination and a Certificate of Attendance for all other participants, including those not wishing to take the examination.

But the Summer School is not only concerned with teaching of law, but also about wine tasting, sightseeing and socializing. Receptions, visits to Champagne-related sites and special events are organized for the participants.


The Program is supported by the European Commission, which has labeled it as a “Jean Monnet Module”, the CIVC, the City of Epernay, the Marne Department and the Region of Champagne-Ardenne
