Our organization is an International non-profit 501 (C) (10) organization created to promote American wines and wine producing regions; to introduce and recognize quality wines from around the world; and to rekindle the respect of wine and wine culture for mankind and country.

In the tradition of wine brotherhoods around the world we seek to promote our own American wine industry and educate our members to the benefits and enjoyment of wine. We are a founding member of the F.I.C.B. and one of 100 Wine Brotherhoods from around the world! The Federation Internationale des Confreries Bachiques (FICB) is an umbrella organization that was created in 1964 and aims to promote and defend fine wines.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE VINE IS A CHARTER MEMBER OF THE FEDERATION, which now includes MORE THAN 100 Wine Brotherhoods throughout the WORLD. In addition to working with the American wine industry to promote American Wines, the Brotherhood sponsors unique national and local wine events.  Events include a formal induction ceremony as well as more casual luncheons, dinners, wine tastings and educational seminars.
