Enthronement of New Members

In April 2026, THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE VINE OF JAPAN (KOV Japan) newly enthroned five members as "Knights of the Vine." This traditional title is bestowed upon individuals who have demonstrated exceptional insight into Japanese wine and made significant contributions to the development of wine culture. This important ceremony serves to honor their dedication and passion.

What is a "Knight of the Vine"?

The title of "Knight of the Vine" is granted to members whose profound knowledge of Japanese wine, as well as their technical understanding and experience gained through winery visits, have been officially recognized by THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE VINE OF JAPAN (KOV Japan). Candidates undergo a rigorous screening process, and by attaining the rank of Knight, their high level of expertise and contribution to the field are formally acknowledged.

More than just an honorary title, being a Knight of the Vine plays a vital role in strengthening the network among members and revitalizing regional wine industries. Furthermore, this title serves as a formal qualification for participating in international events hosted by F.I.C.B.
