The sustainability and tradition of DO La Mancha wines is promoted in Asia as part of the the EU-funded European Wine Ambassadors programme.
This was the final push by La Mancha Designation of Origin in terms of overseas promotion. The action was focused on third countries on the Asian continent and was part of the programme supported with funds from the European Union through the European Research Executive Agency (REA) under Regulation (EU) No 1144/2014. The primary aim of the programme is to disseminate quality wine culture by concentrating on training professionals from the chosen country (importers, distributors, media, etc.).
