Two new Brotherhoods have been admitted as active members of F.I.C.B. in September: we welcome them warmly in our federation!

– The Consulat for Romania of the Ordo Equestris Vini Europae : this Brotherhood has some 400 members distributed in 8 regional organizations (see O.E.V.E. Consulat Romania ). It is our first member from Romania, a country with a great wine tradition (see: Romania ) which has a number of other wine brotherhoods which we hope will eventually join us ;

– The Banat Wine Order “Theodor” from Serbia (see : Banat Wine Order Theodor), which is one of the main Brotherhoods in this country (see Serbia ), based in the town of Vrsac. Its admission as a member of F.I.C.B. was announced at the harvest festival in this town on 17 September.
